Steps:
- Blot chicken thighs with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter with olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Place chicken thighs in the hot oil and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
- Add carrots, onion, and minced garlic to the same skillet, stirring to coat with pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Nestle browned chicken thighs into the vegetables, pour wine and 2 tablespoons water over everything, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender and chicken juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon.

OLIVE OIL-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED CARROTS
Think of this as a weeknight chicken confit, cooked low and slow in plenty of olive oil along with sweet carrots and tangy lemon slices. Save that leftover oil and use it to roast vegetables, fry eggs, jump-start a pasta sauce or, of course, cook more chicken.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- If the carrots have their green tops, trim them so that the stems are about 1/2- to 1-inch long. Save the greens for garnish or for using in salsa verde or pesto. (They can be treated like parsley.)
- Arrange chicken in a large shallow baking dish or shallow braising pot - about 2 1/2 to 3 quarts - so that the legs are snug and lying flat. Scatter garlic head halves, carrots, lemon slices and oregano sprigs among the chicken pieces, nestling everything in there. (It's O.K. if the carrots stick out a bit.) Pour the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. (Yes, you're using all that oil! Don't worry, it can be repurposed; see Tip.) Season again with salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven, uncovered, and roast until the chicken is so tender it nearly falls off the bone and the carrots and lemons are nicely caramelized, 55 to 65 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Divide chicken, vegetables and lemons among plates (or serve straight from the dish it was cooked in). Scatter with carrot tops, if you have them, and more oregano before eating. Reserve the leftover schmaltzy olive oil in the baking dish for another purpose.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken that is about 3 to 4 pounds. A larger chicken will take longer to cook, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot that can hold the chicken and all of the vegetables. A Dutch oven is a good option.
- Season the chicken well: Before cooking, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. This will help to flavor the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Carrots are the main vegetable in this recipe, but you can also add other vegetables such as celery, onions, potatoes, or green beans. The vegetables will add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Cook the chicken until it is tender: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
Conclusion:
Boiled chicken with carrots is a simple but delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
