Make tender, juicy chicken thighs and potatoes in one pot using a rich, creamy garlic and herb sauce. This recipe is simple for weeknight cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound small potatoes (like Yukon Gold), halved or quartered
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 5 to 7 minutes until the skin is golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the potatoes, chicken broth, and dried thyme to the pot. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
  5. Return the chicken thighs to the pot, nestling them among the potatoes, skin-side up.
  6. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken braise for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the lid. Stir in the heavy cream. Continue to simmer uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Stir in the fresh parsley. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier skin, place the pot under the broiler for the last 2 minutes after the braising liquid has reduced, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute dried herbs with 1 tablespoon of a mixed Italian seasoning blend.
  • This dish reheats well the next day.
