Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts if preferred)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups baby potatoes, halved

1 cup carrots, sliced

1 cup celery, sliced

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream (or dairy-free cream for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pot, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the halved baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  6. Return the chicken to the pot, placing it on top of the vegetables. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to add other vegetables like parsnips or peas for more variety.

Use bone-in chicken legs for a more budget-friendly option.

Swap out the cream for coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative.

Add a splash of white wine along with the chicken broth for extra depth of flavor.

Include green peas or spinach toward the end of cooking for some green veggies.
