6 servings
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 4 thighs)
- 1 tsp kosher salt, divided
- ½ tsp black pepper, divided
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 3 stalks celery, sliced ¼-inch thick
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Ingredient noteDried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced ¼-inch thick
- 2 cups baby spinach, loosely packed
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season all over with 1/2 tsp of the salt and 1/4 tsp of the pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 2
Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate; it will not be cooked through at this point.
