  • 2 pounds chicken thighs bone-in, skin removed
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups carrots sliced

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  • Add the carrots, potatoes, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  • Return the chicken to the pot. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

For extra flavor, add a bay leaf while simmering and remove before serving.
