The following recipe will be great with the following wines:

Roast chicken on a bed of Swiss chard with sautéed new potatoes and black olives

1 small roasting chicken, 3-5 lbs.

½ cup Nicoise (small black) olives (or more as desired)

1 lb. new potatoes

2 bunches of Swiss chard

½ cup chicken stock

2 branches of parsley

Salt, pepper

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

Season the chicken inside and out then brown in butter or olive oil with the liver and other innards in an oven-proof casserole, then transfer to the oven and roast for 1 ½ hours

Boil the potatoes in abundant, salted water for 15 minutes, drain

When cool enough peel the potatoes, sauté in olive oil then add olives, keep warm

Blanch the Swiss chard in boiling salted water, then rinse with cold water, and drain.

When the chicken is done, remove from the pan then gather the juices in the pan by adding the chicken stock. Bring mixture to a boil then pour through a fine sieve, set aside.

To serve, reheat the Swiss chard in 1-2 Tbs butter and distribute to plates.

Cut the chicken into serving size portions and place on the chard with the potato/olive mixture on the side.

Add sauce and chopped parsley
