Whenever I put together an easy dinner like this one, I know Mr. Cucina will be smiling. As our official dishwasher he is always pleasantly surprised when there is only one pan to clean!
Casual comfort food, this dish goes from oven to table in the same pan. I used fresh, naturally gluten free ingredients like chicken, potato, carrots and onion. Slow braising ensures the chicken leg quarters are falling off the bone tender.

Dinner for two
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken leg quarters
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 medium sweet onion, cut into chunks
- 1 medium potato, cut into chunks
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- paprika
- fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup white wine
Preparation:
Use a heavy, oven safe skillet with cover or a Dutch oven. With the heat on medium low, add 2 tbsp. olive oil and brown the chicken, skin side down for 10 minutes.
Turn the chicken skin side up. Add the onion, potato and carrot. Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning, paprika, and fresh rosemary.
Add a splash of white wine, cover and place in the oven for an hour and 45 minutes (1-3/4 hours) at 300º. Uncover, and cook for an additional 15 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate. Broil on low for 3 minutes to finish. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and serve it right in the pan.
Notes ♪♫ I’m loving this Tuscan Temptations from Rockin’ Rubs. I used it in this recipe and it’s wonderful in pasta recipes and pizza too!
