The fact is that most nights, I barely have time to cook. This means that one pot meals are essential to my life. This braised boneless chicken thigh recipe fits right in with my goals of eating better but still having time to get my work done.
I typically start the chicken browning and while it is doing that, I prep the onion, potatoes and carrots. By the time I have the chicken browned, everything is ready to throw in the pot.
As easy, one pot chicken dishes go, this one is a hit.
