Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, slice the carrots, and dice the potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables and Broth

    Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Cook the Chicken

    Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot, skin-side up, and ensure they are partially submerged in the broth. Cover and let simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  5. 7

    Finishing Touches

    Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. If desired, stir in chopped parsley before serving.
