Grease the baking sheet with oil and place the chicken on it. If you want it to have a beautiful golden crust, brush it with olive oil and paprika. Put the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, slice the potatoes and peppers into rounds. After 25 minutes, arrange the sliced potatoes and peppers around the chicken on the baking sheet and pour wine over them. Return the chicken to the oven and continue baking until fully cooked, basting occasionally with the wine sauce. In the end, you'll get this delicious chicken. Enjoy your meal!
