Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the new potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to create a spice blend.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them generously on both sides using half of the prepared spice blend.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the chicken thighs into the skillet skin-side down. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the new potatoes to the skillet and season with the remaining spice blend. Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly in the butter, garlic, and spices. Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the skillet with the potatoes. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet on top of the potatoes. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
