Description

A delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors featuring juicy peaches and tangy balsamic vinegar, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Marinate the chicken by placing it in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pouring the marinade over it, and refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Sear the chicken in a large oven-safe skillet with olive oil, skin-side down, for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear the other side for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add sliced peaches around the chicken in the skillet and pour the reserved marinade over everything.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving with caramelized peaches and balsamic reduction, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.
