Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 250 degrees F. Bring large saucepan of salted water to a boil, add potatoes and cook until tender. Drain.
When cool enough to handle, flatten each one with the side of a chef’s knife. Set aside.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until skin is golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn and cook until underside is lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a baking pan, cover with foil, and place in oven until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
Drain oil from skillet, return to medium-high heat, and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add only a single layer of apple and cook, turning apples as they brown, until golden on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer to a plate. Cook single layers of potatoes over medium-high heat, turning once, until warmed through and golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with any remaining potatoes.
Add garlic and as much escarole as you can comfortably fit into the skillet, increase heat to high, and cook, stirring, until escarole starts to wilt and you can add more, about 1 minute.
Add remaining escarole and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute more.
Add wine and cook until escarole is tender and wine is slightly reduced. Add apples and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Remove chicken from oven and pour any juices from pan into skillet with escarole and apples. Stir to combine.
Divide potatoes among 4 plates, then add chicken and escarole mixture, leaving juices in skillet.
Return skillet to high heat, bring juices to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. Whisk in remaining tablespoon of butter.
Season sauce with salt and pepper, pour over chicken, and serve.
