Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen green beans
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the halved baby potatoes, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced carrots to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and aromatic.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, along with any juices that accumulated. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Add the frozen green beans to the skillet and sprinkle the fresh thyme over the top. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, uncovered, to warm the green beans and allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the butter to create a silky sauce, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Country Chicken Skillet Supper hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
