Creating Chicken and Potatoes One Pot is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by dicing the potatoes, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.
2. Heat Oil: In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sear Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Add them to the pot and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
5. Add Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. This helps to slightly soften them and enhances the flavors.
6. Deglaze the Pot: Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
7. Combine Everything: Return the seared chicken to the pot, nestling it among the potatoes.
8. Simmer: Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
9. Check for Doneness: Ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
