Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bone-in, skin-on chicken thigh
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
- 2 medium russet potatoes, chopped
- 1 cup carrots, peeled & chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup green beans, fresh or frozen
- 1 tsp butter or olive oil (for green beans)

Instructions
- Season the chicken thigh with garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan and sear the chicken until the skin is golden and crispy.

- While the chicken is baking, steam or lightly sauté the green beans in butter or olive oil. If you like, add garlic salt for extra flavor until they are tender.
- For an optional touch, broil the chicken uncovered for 3–5 minutes to achieve a golden finish.
- Serve everything on a plate while it’s hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs for a few hours. Adjust the vegetables based on what you have on hand.
