Ingredients

Protein

4 pieces chicken thighs
4 pieces chicken drumsticks

Vegetables

1 piece onion, chopped
2 pieces carrots, sliced
2 pieces potatoes, cubed

Aromatics & Fats

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Liquids & Herbs

2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Seasoning

to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

Preparation

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then brown it in the pot on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Cooking

In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and potatoes, cooking until softened.
Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the chicken broth, thyme, and parsley, then return the chicken to the pot.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30–40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm.

Notes

Serve this with a crisp green salad and crusty bread to soak up the broth. For a richer side, pair with creamy mashed potatoes. Finish with fresh parsley for freshness and a pop of color.
