Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 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

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup green peas, frozen or fresh

Liquids and Garnish

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season and Sear the Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and paprika. Add the chicken to the pot skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, scraping up any browned bits from the chicken to add flavor to the base.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add the sliced carrots and halved baby potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine the vegetables with the aromatics and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to slightly soften and develop flavor.
  4. Simmer with Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot, positioning them skin-side up. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook gently for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  5. Add Peas and Final Seasoning: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the green peas. Check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Let everything warm through.
  6. Serve: Serve the chicken and vegetables hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred; however, adjust cooking time to avoid drying out the chicken.
  • Using bone-in, skin-on thighs helps retain moisture and adds extra flavor, but boneless skinless can work in a pinch.
  • Feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips for variety.
