Ingredients
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- salt & pepper
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 4 TBSP tomato paste
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 bay leaves

- 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into small strips
- 1/2 cup frozen green peas
Directions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and generously season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken in the hot oil until both sides are well browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook about 1 minute then stir in the tomato paste until browned, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken stock, bay leaves, and soy sauce to the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula to release any stuck on bits.
- Return the chicken to the pan skin-side up and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes.
- Add the carrot and potatoes to the pan and increase the heat to medium. Cook uncovered until carrots and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper and peas and cook 3 more minutes.
- Discard the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.
