Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced into thick coins
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken thighs in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the carrots and potatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring to combine. Add the fresh thyme sprigs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some of the liquid and vegetables over the chicken.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot, spooning the gravy over the chicken and vegetables.
