Clay Pot Chicken Vesuvio, Slow Cooked to Perfection in One Pot!

Clay Pot Chicken Vesuvio, Slow Cooked to Perfection in One Pot!

Chicken Vesuvio is one of those recipes that sounds kind of exotic (read: intimidating) but when you see how to actually make it looks like something you'd just put together from whatever you've got in the fridge that day.

Don't let that fool you into thinking it's a boring meal, however.

Something about the vinegar, parsley, and spices gives it just the right tangy kick.

I think you and your family are going to love it. Be sure to bookmark this page so you can come back next time it's requested at your house!
