Description

A flavorful dish featuring tender chicken thighs simmered in a sweet and savory sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 clove garlic (sliced)
  • 1 onion (sliced)
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 3 tablespoons honey (divided)
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup chicken stock

Instructions

  1. In a cast iron skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, and rosemary sprigs. Sauté for 7 minutes on medium heat, until golden brown.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of honey, and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  3. Remove the onions, garlic, and rosemary from the pan and set aside.
  4. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same pan. Add chicken thighs and cook for 8 minutes on each side, over medium heat.
  5. Add the onions, garlic, and rosemary back into the pan, plus the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey and all of the Dijon mustard.
  6. Add the chicken stock and mix with a wooden spoon so that all ingredients are well combined.
  7. Let everything simmer on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
  8. Garnish with rosemary and enjoy!
