Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on (about 1.5 lbs) chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Step 1: Pat 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 lb baby carrots, 1 lb Brussels sprouts, 1 medium red onion (cut into wedges), and 3 minced garlic cloves. Toss until evenly coated.
