Pollo alla Calabrese... Chicken with Potatoes, Onions, and Tomatoes

 I have been getting a newsletter email from Tori Ritchie every week for quite a while now and get a new recipe with each one. There have been some very good ones. My friend Laura , who is a personal chef  told me about this and I signed right up.  Recently I got one for this chicken dish and I knew as soon as I saw this recipe, that I was going to make it. It is so very simple...not rocket science...but on a busy night when you need to get dinner on the table with a minimum of fuss, you throw this in the oven....make a salad and or a nice green veggie and you are in business. 
 
You can find the recipe here on Tori's blog called Tuesday Recipe. I suggest you subscribe to her her Tuesday Recipe, I love getting an email with a new recipe almost every week...here is the link to subscribe.
Everyone loved this...the leftovers were wonderful...it was a good thing! The kid declared it a keeper...what more could I want.

Ciao Chow Linda said...

That does look like a pleaser - and a keeper. I love those easy, one-pot dishes. (And I love that Nat King Cole music on your blog.)

Erica said...

Kate said...

Wow what a comfort meal..Looks so good Linda!

Linda said...

Thanks everyone...hope you give it a try, it is a really nice, homey, simple recipe. I used all organic thighs when I made it because that was what I had in the fridge...really good...

How I love blue willow... the pattern is just spectacular. I got a 200 year old one on ebay... very small by today's standards but so lovely (and, I hate to say it, wildly under-priced!) It just feels like home and hearth. The food on the plate looks like a keeper. I just started using thighs and love them.. why did I neglect them all these years... cheaper and so flavorful!

Good ole rustic country cooking...YUUUM! Lovin the music too!

Linda said...

Thanks everyone,for stopping by to visit and taking the time to comment!

Deana...I have a few really old Blue Willow pieces...unmarked...I do not use them as much as I used to. Anything blue and white is what I adore!

Thighs rock...after years of white meat only...even the kids now enjoy the thighs. It is funny because we did not eat much dark meat until we had kids, when I made a whole chicken they got the breast and my husband and I took the legs and thighs...we started to love them!

I just bought a bunch of Murray's thighs to make the vinegar chicken tomorrow...the kid's request!

Annie said...

Becky said...

Linda, I enjoy Torie's newsletter, too. This recipe is great. And it looks lovely on your Blue Willow.

Dragana said...

I've never roasted chicken at 450F but I'll definitely give this recipe a try. It looks crispy and delicious!

Linda said...

Dragana I always roast my chicken at 450*...depending on the recipe...sometimes I turn it down after 20 minutes to 400* to finish if I am making a whole bird...you get great results that way roasting at a higher temperature.

Thanks for stopping by Hilary and Becky!
