Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season 4 bone-in chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, then place skin side down in the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin turns golden brown and crispy.
  2. Step 2: Flip the chicken thighs and add 500 grams halved baby potatoes to the skillet. Sauté together for 3 minutes, stirring the potatoes gently to coat in oil and brown slightly.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon dried thyme, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup chicken broth and 3 tablespoons lemon juice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  4. Step 4: Remove the lid and cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
