Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb Chicken Thighs, boneless, skinless
  • 1 lb Baby Potatoes, halved
  • 3 medium Carrots, sliced
  • 1 large Yellow Onion, chopped

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown; remove and set aside.
  2. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes, then stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Return chicken to the pot, add halved potatoes, sliced carrots, dried thyme, chicken broth, and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  4. Serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
