- 2 medium carrots, cut into ½-inch rounds
- 1 medium red beet, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
