Ingredients

  • 4 whole chicken thighs
  • 3 medium carrots
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and slice 3 carrots and 1 onion into thick chunks. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Season 4 chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side up on top of the vegetables. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

  3. 3

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Transfer chicken and vegetables to a plate. Place the baking sheet on the stove over medium heat. Add 1 cup chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Serve hot.
