Ingredients

  • 1 kg Chicken thighs with bone and skin on
  • 4 medium Potatoes Cut into quarters
  • 1 jar Marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¾ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 Tablespoon oil
  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan
  • fresh Italian basil

Instructions

  • Pra-heat oven to 200 C / 400 F.
  • Pat dry chicken with a kitchen towel. Mix Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Season chicken pieces with the seasoning mix on both sides.
  • Heat an oven-proof skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil. Place chicken pieces skin side down and sear for 3-4 minutes on medium-high heat, flip and sear for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add quartered potatoes to the skillet. Pour marinara sauce carefully in the gaps between chicken and potatoes. ( don't pour over the chicken and cover with sauce, so that chicken skin will brown and crisp up nicely).
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender. (Bast chicken pieces with the pan juices a couple of times in between)
  • After taking out of the oven, sprinkle grated parmesan on top. Garnish with fresh Italian basil.
  • Serve with grilled veggies, mashed potatoes or crusty bread to scoop the sauce.
