Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken skin-side down and sear for 5 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.
  2. Step 2: Remove chicken and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary to the skillet; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add carrots and potatoes, stirring to coat; season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Return chicken to skillet, skin-side up, and drizzle with honey. Roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, basting occasionally with pan juices. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary before serving.
