Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with the Herbes de Provence, salt, and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 2 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges. Mince the garlic cloves. Cut the baby potatoes in half and the carrots into large chunks, about 1β2 inches long.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. SautΓ© the onions over medium heat until softened, about 3β4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, and lemon juice to the skillet and stir to combine.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and nestle the potatoes and carrots around the chicken.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 40β45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165Β°F/74Β°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Chicken Provencal with Potatoes and Carrots!
