Ingredients(scaled)

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds total)
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
  • ½ cup broccoli florets
  • ½ cup baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • ½ 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high; brown chicken 3–4 minutes per side, until golden. Remove to a plate.
  3. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in potatoes and carrots 2–3 minutes.
  4. Toss in broccoli and tomatoes; cook 4–5 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
  5. Pour in chicken broth; return chicken to pan. Simmer 8–10 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and veggies are tender.
  6. Stir in lemon juice and parsley; adjust salt. Serve with pan sauciness spooned over the chicken and veggies.

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Brown chicken thoroughly for extra flavor.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
  • If sauce reduces too much, add a splash of water or broth.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with crusty bread or over cooked rice to soak up the pan sauce; pair with a simple green salad.
