### **For the Main Dish:**

– **1 large onion** – Chopped for a savory base.
– **4 cloves garlic** – Minced, to add depth and richness to the dish.
– **4 cups chicken or vegetable broth** – For cooking the meat and vegetables.
– **1 tsp salt** – To season the broth and bring out the flavors.
– **1/2 tsp black pepper** – To add a bit of seasoning.
– **1 tsp dried thyme** – Adds a fragrant herbal note.
– **1 tsp dried rosemary** – For that rustic, earthy flavor.
### **For the Cornbread:**
– **1 box of cornbread mix** – This saves time while still providing the comforting, slightly sweet cornbread that perfectly complements the savory main dish.
– **2 eggs** – To bind the ingredients.
– **1/2 cup milk** – For moisture and richness.
– **1/4 cup melted butter** – For a rich, buttery flavor in the cornbread.

## **How to Make the Amish Farmhouse Feast**
Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the **onion**, **garlic**, **carrots**, **celery**, and **potatoes**. Stir everything around for a couple of minutes, letting the vegetables soften a bit and release their aromas.
### Step 2: Add the Broth and Seasonings
Next, pour in the **chicken or vegetable broth**, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any bits of chicken or vegetables stuck to the pan (these add great flavor). Add the **salt**, **black pepper**, **thyme**, and **rosemary**. Stir to combine.
Return the **chicken** to the pot, nestling it into the vegetable mixture. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for **45 minutes to 1 hour**, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, and the vegetables are soft. You can check the chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure it’s fully cooked.
Step 3: Make the Cornbread
While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, prepare the **cornbread**. In a mixing bowl, combine the **cornbread mix**, **eggs**, **milk**, and **melted butter**, then stir until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake according to the instructions on the box, usually about **20-25 minutes** at **350°F (175°C)**. Once it’s golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
