- 1
Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF).
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Preheating ensures even cooking from the start. - 2
In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Seasoning the chicken directly helps distribute flavor. - 3
Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Browning the chicken adds depth of flavor and color. - 4
Add the chopped onions to the same skillet and sautรฉ until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Sautรฉing the aromatics builds a flavor base for the casserole. - 5
Add the sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, chopped bell peppers, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Ensure all vegetables are roughly the same size for even cooking. - 6
Stir in the canned chopped tomatoes, chicken broth, paprika, and dried mixed herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Taste the sauce before adding to the oven to adjust seasoning. - 7
Return the browned chicken pieces to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Ensure the liquid covers most of the ingredients; add a little more broth or water if needed.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: The liquid is essential for creating the sauce and tenderizing the chicken and vegetables. - 8
Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Covering traps steam, which helps cook the ingredients evenly and keeps them moist. - 9
Remove the lid/foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Uncovering allows the sauce to thicken slightly and the top to brown. - 10
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Fresh herbs add a burst of freshness to the finished dish.
