Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat.
Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Place chicken skin-side down in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm.
Add remaining olive oil to the pan and place potatoes inside, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Cook potatoes for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and cover to keep warm.
Add butter to the pan and melt, then stir in the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds before stirring in Italian seasoning.
Pour in white wine and bring to a simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
Add chicken broth, seasoning the sauce with salt and pepper.
Return chicken and potatoes to the pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Switch oven to broil (500°F or 260°C) and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until chicken skin is crispy.
Stir in peas and drizzle lemon juice over the chicken.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with pan juices.
