For more flavor, chef Floyd Cardoz suggests marinating chicken in 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon each minced fresh ginger and ground coriander, and 2 sprigs rosemary.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
4 skinless chicken thighs
Coarse salt
ground pepper
3 slice bacon
4 clove garlic
1 sweet onion
1 large russet potato
4 medium carrots
1/4 small savoy cabbage
1 tart apple
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large ovenproof pan, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook until browned on both sides, 8 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. Reduce heat to medium, add bacon and garlic to pan, and cook until bacon fat is rendered, 5 minutes. Add onion, potato, and carrots; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to oven and bake 20 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and stir in cabbage, apple, red-pepper flakes, broth, and mustard. Add chicken, return to oven, and bake until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring vegetables halfway through. Looking for more chicken recipes?
