Description
A delicious and comforting one-pan meal featuring savory chicken, hearty potatoes, and rich gravy, all made in a single skillet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1½ pounds)
- 1½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary/thyme)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the potatoes: Next, add the cubed Yukon gold potatoes and sprinkle the flour over the vegetables. Stir to coat evenly.
- Pour in the chicken broth: Gradually add the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the rosemary and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Return the chicken to the skillet: Place the chicken thighs back in, skin-side up, nestled among the potatoes. Spoon sauce over the potatoes.
- Bake in the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes until cooked through and potatoes are fork-tender.
- Simmer for gravy: Remove chicken after cooking. If gravy needs thickening, let pan juices and potatoes simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Finish the gravy: Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and discard the rosemary. Return chicken to skillet, spoon gravy over before serving.
Notes
Serve with steamed vegetables, a side salad, or crusty bread to soak up the gravy.
