Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1.5 pounds small red potatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the diced onion and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Bring the liquid to a simmer.

Step 7

Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up, along with the halved red potatoes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of tarragon and the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of tarragon, parsley, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve the braised chicken and potatoes in shallow bowls, spooning the tarragon broth over the top. Enjoy while warm.
