Lemon-Garlic Braised Chicken and Potatoes
Description
In this recipe, the chicken thighs are first seasoned with salt and browned skin-side down in an ovenproof skillet to develop color and flavor. Baby potatoes, smashed garlic, lemon wedges, thyme, and cherry tomatoes are then added around the chicken, and chicken broth with additional salt is poured in to create a braising liquid.
The whole skillet is transferred to a hot oven where the ingredients roast together, with potatoes stirred halfway through cooking to ensure even tenderness. The combination of roasting and braising inside the skillet gently cooks the chicken and infuses the potatoes and vegetables with lemon-garlic aroma while keeping them moist and flavorful.
This hearty dish balances bright lemon notes with the savory infusion of garlic and thyme, pairing the juicy chicken and tender potatoes in a simple yet satisfying meal prepared in one pan, minimizing cleanup.
