Description

A hearty, comforting dish featuring tender chicken thighs in a rich cream sauce with roasted root vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down until golden, about 5 minutes, then flip and sear another 3 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add carrots, parsnips, and onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up.
  5. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
