Dobby’s Chicken and Potatoes
I make this for Friday night dinners or for a comfort food supper in the fall/winter.
For the past eight years in my marriage, I’ve tried countless chicken recipes for Shabbos from various recipe books- but none of them came out soft and melt in the mouth – for some reason the chicken was always slightly undercooked according to recipe instructions.
That’s when I decided to create my own recipe and since then my husband and kids only eat my chicken because it’s moist and soft and has a traditional comforting taste.
I come from Hungarian roots- this recipe is definitely that traditional style.

im always scared to cook with wine. will this taste winey after its cooked? and in general when using wine will i taste it in the dish like chicken or meat?
thank you
Wine gives dishes a richer flavor and dimension. It does not taste like wine, but it has a more elevated taste.
Can I make this dish with other parts of the chicken?
We haven't tested it but you sure can try!
I made this chicken for shabbos and it was so soft and delicious! The sweet potatoes were amazing, but I would skip the regular potatoes next time, I didn’t find that they cooked as well. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us- glad you enjoyed it!
