Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 5 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
  • 2 pounds creamer potatoes, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
  • 5 pieces carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, diced
  • 3 teaspoons Herbes de Provence
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 piece lemon, sliced
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 bunch Fresh chopped parsley for garnishing
Butter Mixture
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. In a Dutch oven, place the potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, melt the butter and garlic in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir in Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Brush the melted butter mixture on the chicken, making sure to get some under the skin.
Cooking
  1. After 20 minutes, remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes. Pour any leftover butter over the potatoes and add the lemon slices.
  2. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 164 degrees.
  3. If the skin isn’t crispy enough, place the dish under the broiler for 3-5 minutes.
Serving
  1. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley.

Notes

Make sure to pat the chicken dry before applying the butter mixture for nice crispy skin. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini based on your preference. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
