Ingredient IQ
If you’re tempted to peel the potatoes, remember what you’ll be taking away: along with flavor, many nutrients are contained in that thin outer layer. Potato skins hold more fiber and iron than the flesh does, not to mention protein, potassium, and magnesium. So consider putting down the peeler and scrubbing the spuds instead. You’ll save time, too.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables

  • Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
  • Scrub or peel the potatoes; cut the potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
  • Scrub or peel the carrots and trim the ends; cut the carrots in half lengthwise, then on the diagonal into 1½-inch lengths.

2

Prep and brown the chicken

Prep and cook instructions are identical for both chicken options.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Cut the chicken crosswise into 1-inch-thick strips; season with salt and pepper and the paprika.
In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pot.

3

Start cooking the vegetables

In the same pot used for the chicken, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 1 to 3 minutes. Add the potatoes and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to brown, 5 to 6 minutes [6 to 8 min]. Stir in the flour and cook until toasted, about 1 minute. Gradually stir in the chicken broth and ½ cup [1 cup] white wine or vermouth (from your pantry) or water and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

4

Finish the chicken and vegetables

Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
When the chicken and vegetables are almost done, prepare the herbs.

5

Prep the herbs; finish the dish

  • Strip enough thyme leaves from the stems to measure ½ teaspoon [1 tsp]. Save any remaining thyme for another use.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the thyme, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the chicken and vegetables to individual bowls, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
