Step-by-Step Instructions for One Pot Irish Chicken
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Sauté chopped onions in the leftover fat until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add chopped potatoes and shredded cabbage to the skillet, tossing for 2-3 minutes to coat in flavors.
  6. Return seared chicken and crispy bacon to the pan, sprinkle with thyme and smoked paprika.
  7. Cover and bake for 35-40 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender.
  8. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
