Ingredients

6 chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 yellow onion, diced
0.25 cup chopped fresh basil, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1.5 cups chicken broth
3 cups diced carrots

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place the chicken thighs in a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the onion over and around the chicken. Top each chicken thigh with basil, garlic, and rosemary. Pour the chicken broth into the pan, and evenly distribute the carrots around the chicken. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is nicely browned.
