Whenever I go to an Italian Restaurant, I like to order Chicken Vasuvio but never made it at home. When I saw this recipe on "The Kitchen" I thought I would give it try. The chef, Jeff Mauro, is from my hometown, Elmwood Park. It's a very italian town, so I knew it'd be a good recipe to try. Thanks Jeff!

Cooking Instructions

1 hr 40 minutes

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, sear the chicken pieces, flipping only once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the seared chicken to a plate or sheet pan and set aside.
3

Add 3 tablespoons oil to the skillet and place the potato wedges cut side down in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sear until lightly golden, about 6 minutes, then flip and sear the other cut side for 6 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a plate or sheet pan and set aside.
4

Add 1 tablespoon oil and the garlic to the skillet and let the garlic flavor infuse into the oil without the garlic coloring, 30 seconds. Add the thyme, oregano, and wine and bring to a simmer.
5

Return the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and top with the chicken, skin side up. Brush the chicken with a little more oil and season with salt. Sprinkle a generous amount of the Italian seasoning all over the tops of the chicken. Roast the chicken and potatoes in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
6

Remove skillet from the oven, add the peas and let them heat through. Let the chicken cool for 10 minutes. Pour the lemon juice over the top and top with the zest and parsley.

This is a traditional Italian-American dish similar to my wife’s chicken riggi recipe with a notable exception. This recipe calls for whole chicken thighs and the skin is crispy. Definitely worth a try.

My father asked me to come up with a recipe for this tasty chicken. Named in and served at a particular restaurant, he wanted to enjoy this at home. This is my second attempt that was as close he said to what he remembers. It put a smile on his face and we cleaned the plates on both attempts but this time was even better! For you dad!!

Chicken Scarpariello Chicken Scarpariello

Chicken Scarpariello is a flavorful Italian-American dish that combines tender chicken pieces with spicy Italian sausage, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and tangy vinegar. The dish is often simmered with white wine and chicken broth, creating a savory, slightly sweet and sour sauce. It's typically served with potatoes or over pasta, making it a hearty and satisfying meal.

Ravioli "Lasagna" Ravioli "Lasagna"

This is definitely the lazy girls variation of lasagna. This is only 5 ingredients total If you're using jarred sauce. I usually try to make a homemade sauce in advance for this, but even doing that it's still a very easy meal to prepare. It is so quick to throw together for a delicious, kid-approved weeknight dinner.

Chicken Campagnola Chicken Campagnola

There is this great little Italian Restaurant in the Irish section of the Bronx. A perfect place for me to frequent, considering my background. They have a lot of great dishes, but there is one dish that I love the most. It has potatoes, sausages, peppers, and chicken. All of my favorites ingredients in one dish.Two weeks earlier, my family and I went there for my sister's birthday. Of course, I had this dish. After dinner on the ride home, I told my wife that I will make that dish. Not sure how, but I will do it.I went to the store and blindly bought what I thought may be in the dish. Did I get the right stuff? Did I miss anything? Did I create a totally new dish? No idea, but to me, my version is way better. No offense to my favorite restaurant.As always, this dish is open for interpretation. You can try it as is or fiddle around with it. It can be served over pasta or rice or even alone. It is up to you. #mycookbookEnjoy!

I love eggplant, so I tried adding it to napolitan.When it's in season you can eat a lot of it.Cooking the vegetables together with the ketchup takes away the sourness of the ketchup and makes it easier to mix in with the spaghetti. Recipe by Momokappaebisen

This is a very simple dinner reminiscent of the salad Caprese. It’s essential to have fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, preferably Burrata mozzarella cheese. It comes together real fast and it’s very flavorful.

Chicken fra diavolo Chicken fra diavolo

Fra diavolo sauce normally accompanies seafood. Tradition aside, I see no good reason why it can't work with a different type of protein, such as chicken. And so I tried it. Happily, I can report that it worked out really well. The chicken thighs soaked up the flavours of the sauce nicely, and the final dish was spicy, tangy, hearty, and delicious.

I'm a huge fan of Italian food and this recipe is one of my favorites. Yes, it takes 4 hours. But it's so easy. While it's cooking you can take a nap, go for a run or do some chores. Enjoy!
