So I tried a new recipe tonight. It was inspired by an episode on food network and a recipe ad in taste of home. The picture really doesn't do it justice...anyway here is how it goes
Chicken thighs and legs (bone in skin off)
oil
paprika, salt, pepper, flour
vegetables- ( I used red potatoes, onions, carrots and green beans)
thyme, oregano
chicken stock (not broth-stock has way more flavor)
lemon juice
1. toss chicken in a mix of flour, salt, pepper and paprika. Heat a little oil ( like 1-2 Tb) in a large skillet. When hot add chicken (should sizzle). Brown on all sides. remove and set aside.
2. Add vegetables to pan and gently brown up a little, ( brown food tastes good!) add oil if necessary. Toss on thyme and oregano as desired (probably around 1/2-1 tsp each).
*I like my green beans really crisp so I waited until the whole dish was almost done before adding
3. Place chicken back in pan with veggies and add stock and a splash of lemon juice (1-2 Tb depends on what you like I also added a bit more paprika). Let simmer covered until chicken is cooked, veggies are tender and stock, flour off of chicken and potato starch become like a gravy.
This recipe was super yummy as well and as a one pot meal and pretty nutritious. You could make it even healthier with low sodium stock and leaner chicken breasts- although they are more expensive.
