Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, halved
- 4 small skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 4 whole peeled canned tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups water
Directions
In a heavy bottomed 4-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until very dark, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken pieces, ginger, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until the chicken is brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and break up with a wooden spoon. Add the thyme, 2 tablespoons of parsley, carrots, potatoes, and hot water. Cover the pan and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 40 to 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with the remaining parsley.

I made this last week and immediately it became one of my favorite dishes I ever made... and my wife and daughter raved about it for days. I made it again tonight and it was so so... Not bad, but not what it was the first time. (Still better than Pizza... I'm sure I did something wrong. Also, I kept looking for garlic in the recipe, but there was none. I think maybe I did a better job blackening the sugar the first time.... I'll definitely try it again.

I wasn't a fan of this recipe. This recipe is too bland. The ingredients do not go well together. I made this for dinner tonight and ended up ordering a pizza.

Wish that I had read the reviews prior to cooking this recipe. Too much oil and my result was bitter because I probably over cooked ( burned the brown sugar. I will try it again being careful to correctly cook the brown sugar. Chicken was very tender.
