## **How to Make the Amish Farmhouse Feast**
### Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables
Start by heating a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add a little oil to the pot, then brown the **chicken** on both sides until golden, about 5-7 minutes per side. This adds flavor to the chicken and the dish overall.
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.
