Ingredients
-
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-
6–8 small Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, halved and rounded (2 flat sides fondant-style, think shape of a sea scallop)
-
1 tbsp Tuscan Blend
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 bunch Swiss chard, ribs removed, leaves roughly chopped
-
1 1/4 cups chicken stock (low-sodium)
-
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Brown the potatoes: In a large oven-safe skillet or braiser pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high. Add potatoes flat side (any side) down and sear undisturbed for 8 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Add stock & flip: Flip potatoes, season lightly with salt, and pour in chicken stock to cover the bottom half of the potatoes. Remove from heat.
-
Season chicken: Pat chicken thighs dry, rub with Tuscan Blend, salt, and pepper. Nestle on top of the potatoes, skin side up.
-
Roast for 45–50 minutes until the chicken skin is crisp and internal temp hits 165°F. Stock will reduce, flavoring the potatoes.
-
Add Swiss chard: In the last 5–7 minutes, tuck Swiss chard into the pan. It will wilt into the juices.
-
Serve directly from the pan, spooning buttery broth over everything.
🌿 What Makes This Recipe Tuscan?
This dish celebrates rustic simplicity — just like in a Tuscan kitchen. Our Tuscan Blend brings together perfectly cracked pepper (sourced and tested across 12 varieties), garlic, mushroom powder, brown sugar, rosemary, and sage — all balanced to complement everything from roast chicken to vegetables and eggs and pizza.
📌 Pro Tip:
Broil the chicken for the final 2–3 minutes for extra crispy skin. You’ll get restaurant-level texture with zero fuss.
