Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the sliced carrots and chopped zucchini, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine and Simmer

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and add thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the chicken ragout over mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or buckwheat.
