One pot. Super simple. Basically everything you want in an easy dinner, right? This chicken and potatoes is the perfect supper plus it’s braised and cooked in red wine!
Honestly, I think this is one of the best chicken and potato recipes I’ve had!
This dinner is actually inspired by one I found on Instagram, actually. From an Armenian cook with a blog named Mimosa’s and Samosa’s. (She doesn’t have a website I don’t believe, otherwise I’d link it.) Mary’s recipe originally didn’t include the onions, thyme, or sumac and I tweaked it a bit more for originality.. Just so very delicious.

How to make this delicious dinner:
This one pot chicken and potatoes is honestly so easy but it does require to get your hands a little dirty.
Once you cut up the onions and potatoes – place them into a Dutch oven. You can use a French oven but they are a bit taller and it’s preferable to have a wider dish for even cooking.
Top the potatoes and onion with the chicken, garlic, thyme, sumac, chilli flakes, cumin, tomato paste, salt and pepper.. Here’s the messy part. Use your hands, cleaned or with a latax/plastic glove, to make sure that all the veggies and chicken are coated in the tomato paste and seasoning.
Once it’s all mixed, you add the red wine and lemon juice.
When you are putting this recipe together, it is important to make sure that after you mix it all together, make sure the potatoes lie flat and even. If they are too thick together, it might take a while longer to cook through!
After it’s been fully cooked, there will still be some wine and chicken juice in the pot so time to take off the lid and let it the juices cook off.
Really really delicious and honestly such an easy chicken dinner!
