Braised Chicken Thighs with Vegetables

Ingredients:

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine (optional, can be replaced with additional chicken broth)
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in your Le Creuset Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden and crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the thighs and cook for another 3 minutes, then remove them from the pot and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the thyme, rosemary, and flour, and cook for another 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly add the chicken broth and white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Add the diced tomatoes and bay leaves, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  8. Return the chicken thighs to the pot, skin-side up, nestling them into the liquid but leaving the skin exposed.
  9. Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Braise for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  10. Remove from the oven and discard the bay leaves before serving.

This dish is great served over rice, mashed potatoes, or with a simple side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy your meal cooked in the Le Creuset Dutch oven; it’s perfect for these types of hearty, slow-cooked meals!
