"My grandmother was a reporter in New York before she got married and moved to Montana to start a new life on a ranch," writes Joyce Litz of Albuquerque, New Mexico. "At the time she didn't know how to cook, and learning wasn't easy — the place didn't even have running water. Still, she appreciated good food, so she persevered and became a great cook. Later my grandmother taught me ranch-style cooking, a lot of which involved getting simple but flavorful, hearty meals ready in a hurry."

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

4 chicken thighs with skin and bone
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 pound small red-skinned potatoes, halved
8 boiling onions, peeled
2 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
Chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

  1. Sprinkle chicken on all sides with paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate. Add vegetables and stir 2 minutes. Sprinkle vegetables with flour and stir to coat. Gradually stir in broth and wine; bring to boil, stirring frequently. Return chicken and any juices to skillet; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley.

  • I am doing something very similar today using a total salt free approach and using Dash Southwest Chipotle over the olive oiled chicken thighs (skinned) and then Dash Table seasoning for the carrots, celery, onions for the aromatics and baby potatoes poured over the top after dredging in extra virgin olive oil and those seasonings . Your particular recipe looks luscious and wonderful also and Thank you for the easily referenced information !

  • Wonderful, deeply flavorful recipe! It's my go to when dinner may be delayed. Instead of cooking in skillet I coat skinless chicken thighs in the flour/ paprika mixture then put it in the crock pot. Use regular onion, chopped, add a few cloves of chopped garlic and sprigs of rosemary. If liquid is too loose I spoon out as much as is easily scooped & reduce it on the stove. Family & friends love it.

  • Good for winter weeknights. I wanted the skin to be crispy and the sauce to be nice and concentrated, so simmered uncovered for the second half, and finished in the broiler. Chicken was nicely cooked, though carrots were a little over. I'd love suggestions on how to serve this. We ate from bowls with a plated side salad (just my husband and me, nothing fancy). The gravy makes me think you'd put this over something, but there are already potatoes so I wouldn't add another starch like rice or egg noodles. It is a little unwieldy to eat a bone-in chicken thigh from a bowl, but I wouldn't want to leave all that delicious sauce behind, either.

  • I have prepared this recipe many times, to the great delight of family and friends. The only change I have mad is to use small whole onions rather than boiling onions (too much work to peel). Also, I use chicken drippings leftover from roasted chicken whenever possible, defating the drippings and even freezing to use later. This is one of my premier dishes.

  • So gooood.....easy, but of course a few modifications.... Used seasoned butter like the new Land O Lakes to brown the chicken... Made my own broth with powdered low sodium chicken broth...made it 'uber' broth. Used Marsala wine.... Used herbs 'd provence during the cooking process right before I re-added the chicken..

  • Just dekicious! Easy to make and so much flavor. I also added garlic,mushrooms, tyme, rosemary to it. Also used olive oul instead if veg. Oil. My husband did not even use mayo to this...he always does it, but said the flavor was so wonderful he did not need it. I dont care for cooked carrots, but these were great! Would make it again!

  • I just left the flour out. My daughter and her "gluten-free" friend enjoyed it.

  • This is a great weeknight meal. Quick, easy and very flavorful. Kids loved it. Added minced garlic with the onions and carrots. Added herbs de provence to the chicken (used boneless/skinless) before searing. Added an extra tablespoon of flour to the veggies. After adding liquids, baked at 350 degrees for about an hour. Very moist.

  • Why does this recipe appear under Wheat/Gluten-free when it calls for all-purpose flour?

  • I thought this recipe was great, but beware: with the flour, it is not gluten-free (and shame on whoever categorized it as such!). Simple fix: use arrowroot instead and you'll get as thick and glossy a sauce as if you'd used flour. I subbed boneless, skinless chicken breasts for thighs and added three cloves of garlic to the pan with the veggies and about a teaspoon of sage with the broth. My only complaint is that there was barely enough for two servings; I will definitely make this again, but will double the veggies next time.

  • This recipe came up in my search for gluten free. It is NOT gluten free. All purpose flour??

  • We thought this was delicious! There was too much liquid though, so next time I'll add less, and then add more if I need to. Or I'll thicken it up with more flour. I also added sweet potatoes, garlic, a little cayenne and salt and pepper. It's like a really comforting chicken stew!

  • I have made this recipe many times and just love it! I did not have the problem mentioned in the previous review. I followed the recipe exactly, except I added fresh garlic and sage, and dried thyme as it was simmering. Excellent in the colds months!!
