Braised Chicken Leg with Steamed Vegetables
Pan-seared chicken legs slow-braised in a savory herb broth until the meat is succulent and tender, served with a vibrant medley of steamed broccoli and carrots.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium chicken legs
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup low-sodium chicken bone broth
2 cloves garlic
0.25 medium yellow onion
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 cup broccoli florets
0.5 cup sliced carrots
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken legs evenly on all sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken legs in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until the skin is deeply golden brown.
Remove the chicken briefly to a plate; add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the chicken bone broth, and add the fresh thyme sprigs.
Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is braising, place the broccoli florets and sliced carrots in a steamer basket over boiling water for 6-8 minutes until vibrant and fork-tender.
Serve the chicken legs hot, drizzled with the savory pan reduction and accompanied by the steamed vegetables.
