Ingredient Checklist

• 4 Chicken Breasts
• 2 Cups of Chicken Stock
• 4 Peeled Potatoes
• 3 Ounces of White Wine
• 2 Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary
• 2 Ounces of Butter
• 2 Teaspoons of Fresh Chopped Garlic
• 2 Teaspoons of Shallots
• 4 Ounces of Lemon Juice
• Chili Flake
• Olive Oil

1. Prepare the Potatoes

First, begin by preheating the oven to 400°. While the oven is heating up, you can prepare the potatoes with a few drops of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. To give your chicken a little extra zest, you might also want to cook it with an ounce of lemon juice.

2. Cook the Chicken

The best way to prepare the chicken is to sautée it on low heat. Start by putting the chicken in the pan with a touch of olive oil, garlic, shallots and the chili flakes. Wait until the chicken starts to turn brown before glazing it with the remaining lemon juice and white wine. Continue to Flip the chicken until the lemon juice and white wine are well mixed. Once they have reduced by half, add the chicken stock. At this point, your chicken breast should be almost fully cooked. Turn the stove down to a simmer and add salt and pepper to the mix.

3. Finish it Off and Enjoy

Once the flavor is just right, you can add butter to the sauce and then serve it over your roast potatoes. This recipe is very simple, but you might want to tweak it as you cook. For instance, some people might want a more zesty flavor and add more lemon. Or, you might want to make the dish a little bit healthier by leaving out the butter altogether. On the other hand, if you want a richer, stronger flavor, you can add a little heavy whipping cream when you add the butter in the last step. This will create a creamier sauce that will complement the meat and potatoes.

You will surely love this delightfully simple and classic Italian dish. Make any small adjustments you need to make it perfect. Just remember, pollo arrosto is a simple classic that is perfect as it is. Ciao!
