Braised Chicken and Chayote Recipe
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 pound total)
- 2 medium large-dice chayotes (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
- 1/2 lemon
- Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl with the diced chayotes.
- Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss until evenly coated.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the chicken (skin side down) and chayote pieces.
- Cook, undisturbed, until the chicken skin is crisped and the chayote is turning golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Flip the chicken over, sprinkle the oregano over the chayote, and stir.
- Add the broth or water to the pan (avoid the chicken skin) and cook uncovered until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, the underside is browned, and the chayote is fork tender, about 15 minutes more.
- Squeeze the lemon over top before serving.
