Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add Garlic and Vegetables
Add the minced garlic, sliced carrot, and chopped red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Brown the Chicken
Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down. Brown for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and brown the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

Simmer the Dish
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
