Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • sheet pan
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 roma tomato (diced)
  • 2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup white onions (diced)
  • 1 cup parsnips (sliced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil to a skillet on medium high heat and sear the chicken on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Next, add the sliced onions and saute them until they soften.
  • Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and sliced parsnips. Stir everything around for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Then, add the tomato sauce and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to get all the charred bits (this adds flavor to the broth).
  • Cover the pan with a lid and simmer on low medium heat for about 25 minutes until the chicken fully cooks to an internal temperature of 165F.
