One of my family’s favorite dinneris pairing chicken with potatoes. May it be simply roasting them, throwing them on the hot grill of turning into a comforting meal, it is always a winner! Although I love this red winebaked potatoes and chicken I knew I have to find another recipe thatmy daughter can enjoy as well.

I’ve made this potatoes chicken skillet a couple of times this summer and I finally can say – it makes my heart sing! Thinly sliced potatoes, onion, garlic, fresh thyme and oregano neatly arranged in a cast iron skillet and topped with chicken drumsticks and roughly chopped bacon and baked in a hot oven until the potatoes melt in your mouth and the meat falls off the bones.

I honestly don’t know if this dish can get any better!Slow baked potatoes chicken skillet recipe (2)

After making the slow baked red wine chicken and potatoes and falling in love with the flavors developed by slow baking the dish, I knew I want to use the same technique. I know most of the times easy quick meals are in order, but there are times when waiting a couple of hours for the dinner to cookmakes the wait all worth it.

Reading the recipe you might think it’s pretty complicated, but is quite simple, and even the most novice of cooks should be able to prepare it. Just follow the recipe and you’ll have the most amazing potatoes chicken skillet.

Start by giving your potatoes a good scrub. I love keeping the skin on but if that’s not your thing, you can peel them.

Using a mandoline, a food processor or a very sharp knife, thinly slice the potatoes and onions. Mince the garlic and finely chop the thyme and rosemary.

In a bowl mix the potatoes with the onion, garlic and herbs and arrange them in layers in a greased cast iron skillet.

My family loves chicken drumsticks and that’s what I used in this recipe, but you can use thighs and even chicken breasts if that’s what you prefer. My advice is to keep the skin on the chicken while it cooks. Oh, the flavor it brings to the dish!!!

Finish the skillet with some roughly chopped bacon and place it in the hot oven for 2 hours. Take a nap, catch up with your favorite TV series or do whatever you want during this time. No peaking in the oven. Just be patient!

After two hours, remove the lid and keep under the broiler for a couple of minutes, just until the potatoes slices and chicken get a little brown color.

Does that sound like a hard recipe?
