Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven safe pan over medium high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken, skin side down, in the pan in a single layer.
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until chicken is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm.
Add the rest of the olive oil to the pan. Place the potatoes in the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Remove the potatoes from the pan and cover to keep warm.
Add the butter to the pan and melt. Stir in the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the Italian seasoning.
Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the wine has been reduced by half.
Pour in the chicken broth, then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken and potatoes back to the pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Turn the oven to broil (500 degrees F). Cook for 2-3 minutes or until chicken skin is crispy.
