ONE-PAN CHICKEN THIGHS AND VEGETABLES



One-Pan Chicken Thighs and Vegetables image

Categories     Carrot     Chicken     Potato     Dinner     Lunch     Sauté     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Chicken Thighs
1 Sweet or Spanish Onion
3 Carrots
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Medium Potatoes
2 teaspoons Seasoning Salt, Herb Blend, or Your Favorite Spices
1/2 cup Dry White Wine

Steps:

  • Step 1: Add 1 Tbsp. oil to medium skillet, and heat over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs, and add to the skillet, cooking 5 minutes a side or until nice color develops on both sides. Remove.
  • Step 2: While the chicken cooks, slice onion, carrot, and potato into thin bite-size pieces, medallions for the carrots and potatoes, slices for the onion.
  • Step 3: Add remaining oil and potatoes and carrots, sautéing for 5-6 minutes. Add onion, and sauté until nice color develops, another 5 minutes.
  • Step 4: Before fully cooked, add the chicken thighs back to the pan, add the white wine, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the thighs register at 165 degrees.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken Thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Dry the Chicken Thighs Thoroughly: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking. This helps the skin crisp up and prevents the chicken from steaming.
  • Season the Chicken Thighs Generously: Use a flavorful blend of spices and seasonings to coat the chicken thighs. This will help create a delicious crust.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken thighs in the pan so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the Chicken Thighs Skin-Side Down First: This will help the skin crisp up and render out some of the fat.
  • Flip the Chicken Thighs Once: Only flip the chicken thighs once during cooking. This will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer to Check for Doneness: The chicken thighs are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Chicken Thighs Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

This one-pan chicken thighs and vegetables recipe is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken thighs are juicy and flavorful, and the vegetables are roasted to perfection. This recipe is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
