Ingredients
• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs about 8 pieces
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup balsamic glaze
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 tsp honey
• 8 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tsp oregano
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme optional
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 onions sliced
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
Instructions
• Place the chicken in a large bowl and top with the olive oil, balsamic glaze, dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Move the chicken around using a pair of tongs to make sure it's all well coated. If time permits, let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes up to 8 hours in the fridge,
• When you're ready to cook, arrange the sliced onions and tomatoes in a pan (I used a large cast iron) and then arrange the chicken in a single layer on top of the vegetables. Pour the marinade all over the chicken, cover and turn the heat on to medium high.
• Cook for 35 to 45 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened. Serve with your favorite side dish.
Notes
• Serve this delicious balsamic glazed chicken with a caprese salad or a fresh Mediterranean salad. You can also serve it with Mediterranean roasted vegetables, roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes as well as butternut squash.
• Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with 2 tablespoons water over medium heat for 15 minutes.
• You can freeze uncooked balsamic marinated chicken in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months. To cook, thaw them in the fridge overnight and proceed from step 2 of the recipe.
