  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 medium carrots (sliced)
  • 5 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin side down for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and crisp, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add chopped onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the onions.
  6. Pour in dry white wine and let simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Stir in chicken broth, dried thyme, paprika, and bay leaf.
  7. Add sliced carrots and mushrooms to the pan and stir to combine.
  8. Return chicken thighs to the pan skin side up, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Cover and transfer the pan to the oven. Braise for 35 to 40 minutes until cooked through and tender.
  9. Remove bay leaf. Spoon some sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
