Chop all the vegetables and set them aside. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Heat the plow disc over the fire. Once hot, pour a generous drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken thighs.
After flipping the chicken, add the potatoes (sliced into rounds) and the carrot sticks. Pour in one cup of vegetable broth and cover. Cook for 15 minutes.
After this time, add the remaining vegetables and herbs. Keep the mixture moist by adding broth as needed to prevent it from drying out, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. Cook for another 20 minutes.
Add the wine, peas, and mushrooms. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
