Description
One-Pan Chicken and Potatoes with Gravy is a comfort food made simple. Juicy chicken thighs, tender potatoes, and rich homemade gravy cook together in one skillet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (or drumsticks)
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes (halved)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 sprigs fresh thyme)
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 sprig fresh rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Place chicken skin-side down and sear for 5–6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add sliced onions and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add halved baby potatoes to the pan, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add remaining butter to the pan, then sprinkle flour over the potatoes. Stir until flour coats evenly.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for flavor.
- Return chicken to the pan, nestling it among the potatoes. Add thyme and rosemary.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are fork-tender.
- If the gravy is too thin, uncover the pan and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until thickened.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
