Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a herb mixture.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and rub the herb mixture on both sides.
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down. Sear for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Mashed Potatoes
- While the chicken is baking, place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for around 15 minutes until soft.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, mashing until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Glazed Carrots
- In another pot, combine the baby carrots, honey, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Cover and steam over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until the carrots are tender and glazed.
Serving
- Once the chicken is finished, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Plate the chicken alongside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes and the glazed carrots.

Notes
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight with the herb mixture for more flavor. Choose starchy potatoes for a creamier texture. Fresh herbs significantly enhance the overall taste.
