Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil and butter.
Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

2. Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the potatoes, bell pepper, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
Using the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

3. Combine and Bake

Push the sautéed vegetables to the sides of the skillet, making space in the center for the chicken thighs.
Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet. Drizzle the honey over the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth around the chicken and vegetables, ensuring the skillet doesn’t dry out while baking.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C/165°F) and the vegetables are tender.

4. Garnish and Serve

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish the chicken and vegetables with freshly chopped dill for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve warm and enjoy alongside crusty bread or a fresh side salad.

Notes

Make It Your Own: Feel free to swap or add vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, or Brussels sprouts.
Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Dairy-Free: Replace butter with olive oil for a dairy-free version.
Don’t Skip the Sear: Searing the chicken ensures a crispy skin and locks in moisture.
