Skillet Balsamic Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced.
  • Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or substitute 1 tbsp + 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauce: Stir together the chicken broth, balsamic, maple syrup, salt and pepper; set aside.
  2. In a 10-12” skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken, skin-side down and cook until the skin is deep golden, about 5 min. Flip chicken over and cook other side for 3-4 min. Remove chicken to plate and discard all but a tsp or two of fat in pan.
  3. Return the pan to burner and stir in garlic slices. Cook, stirring, until just softened and fragrant, 30-40 seconds. Add in sliced onions and cook until soft. Pour in sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low. Return chicken to pan, skin side up and allow to simmer 10-15 minutes, spooning some of the sauce over top of the chicken a couple of times until chicken is cooked through.
