Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 200 °C (gas mark 6-7) so it's nice and hot when the dish goes in.

  2. Prep the vegetables

    Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut them into large 2 cm cubes. Peel the onion and slice it.

  3. Brown the chicken

    In a hot skillet with a drizzle of oil, brown the chicken thighs for 5 min per side over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    Tip · If the chicken releases too much fat in the skillet, spoon it out so it doesn't burn.

  4. Toss the vegetables

    In the baking dish, toss together the potatoes, carrots and onions. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then drizzle with a little oil.

  5. Add the chicken

    Set the browned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the dish. No need to push them in: they roast uncovered.

  6. Bake

    Put the dish in the oven, preheated to 200 °C, for 25 min, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

    Tip · Check the chicken by poking it with a knife: the juices should run clear, with no trace of pink.
