garlic chicken recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 6 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 200g baby potatoes, halved
• 200g cherry tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place them skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
2. 
   
3. In the same pan, add the minced garlic, sliced onion, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and become fragrant.
4. 
   
5. Add the halved baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the aromatic herbs and spices.
6. 
   
7. Return the chicken thighs to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables. Ensure the chicken is placed skin-side up. This will help the skin remain crispy and flavorful.
8. 
   
9. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and let the chicken and vegetables simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. The steam created within the covered pan will help infuse the flavors and keep the chicken moist.
10. 
    
11. Once cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the chicken and vegetables to brown for a few minutes, enhancing the overall texture and appearance of the dish.
12. 
    
13. Serve the one-pot garlic chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added burst of freshness. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables, crusty bread, or a simple side salad.
