Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5 minutes without moving until golden brown. Flip and sear another 5 minutes, then remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1.5 pounds halved baby potatoes and stir to coat, cooking for 2 minutes until potatoes begin to brown.
  3. Step 3: Return chicken thighs to the pot, nestling them among potatoes. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup dry white wine, scraping any browned bits from the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are tender when pierced.
  4. Step 4: Uncover, increase heat to medium, and simmer for 3 minutes to reduce sauce. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh parsley and serve immediately.
