Grandma's German Chicken Casserole: Sear chicken, simmer with veggies in flavorful broth.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (3 1/2) pound whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 medium potatoes, quartered
  • 8 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.5 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 2.5 cups water
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for a perfect bake.
  • In a heavy Dutch oven over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until nicely browned all over, for about 8 to 10 minutes. Introduce potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and bouillon. Pour in water, mix well, cover, and bring to a boil.
  • Place the covered Dutch oven in the preheated oven and cook for about 45 minutes, until the vegetables are tender, the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer near the bone.
