Description

A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender braised chicken paired with a medley of vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 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 Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them 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 onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in the thyme and rosemary.
  5. Return the chicken to the pot, skin-side up. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
