Braised Chicken and Spring Vegetables

This was a nice balanced meal. I found the recipe on Real Simple. So far all of the Real Simple recipes I tried are all very good. I can't wait to try more. I served the dish with quinoa. If you never had quinoa before you should try it. It's very high in protein and a great rice replacement.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 small bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1⁄2 pounds)
kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
12 medium radishes, halved
3/4 pound carrots (about 4), cut into sticks
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook until browned, 6 to 7 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
2. Spoon off and discard the fat. Return the pot to medium-high heat, add the broth, and scrape up any brown bits.
3. Stir in the radishes, carrots, and sugar. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and gently simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.
