The chicken is prepared for cooking, and the seasoning process emphasizes even coating for flavor. The setup is minimal, placed on a clean white marble countertop with a small bowl of salt and a pepper mill nearby.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Brown the chicken pieces on both sides until crispy and golden.
  • Add chopped onions and sliced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
    Chopped onions and thinly sliced garlic cloves are added into the same skillet containing browned chicken. The ingredients begin to sauté and release their aroma, adding depth and sweetness to the dish. The black skillet sits on a white marble countertop, with a clear glass bowl of extra garlic and onions nearby, showcasing a real-time cooking moment.
  • Deglaze with dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
    Dry white wine is poured into the skillet containing chicken, sautéed onions, and garlic. A wooden spoon scrapes the bottom to lift flavorful browned bits into the liquid, creating the base of a savory sauce. The moment is captured over a white marble countertop with a clean background, focusing on the cooking process and rich aroma development.
  • Add chicken stock, parsley, Italian seasoning, and butter. Stir well.
  • Arrange potato wedges around the chicken, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes.
  • Finish with frozen peas, cook for 5 more minutes, then serve.
