- 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
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.
