Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 cups carrots, peeled and sliced into thick rounds
• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
• 1 fresh rosemary sprig
• 3 fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear for another 3 minutes, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the carrots and baby potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the oil and cook for 5 minutes, allowing a slight caramelization to develop.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the lid/foil and add the green beans.

Step 10

Return the skillet to the oven and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C), and the vegetables are tender.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the country chicken and vegetables hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
