One Pan Comfort Chicken
One Pan Comfort Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cups green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- as needed salt
- as needed black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- 1
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or a large, oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs until they are beautifully browned on both sides and cooked through, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced yellow onion to the same pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the butter and continue to stir until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the prepared potatoes and chicken broth to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pan and let it cook until the potatoes are almost tender. This will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes, so check on them partway through to ensure even cooking.

Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a bare simmer. It's important not to let it come to a hard boil to prevent the cream from breaking. Add the green beans, stir gently, then cover the pan again and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and still have a slight bite.

Return the cooked chicken thighs to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Cover the pan and let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and all the ingredients to warm through. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
