Description
A simple and delicious one-pot meal featuring tender chicken thighs and a variety of vegetables, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup green peas (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and paprika. Add the chicken to the pot, skin-side down, and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the sliced carrots and halved baby potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken thighs to the pot, skin-side up. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the green peas. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a creamier dish, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to substitute the chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option, but adjust cooking time as needed to prevent drying out.
