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

Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking together balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.

- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- Add sliced peaches around the chicken in the skillet and pour the reserved marinade over everything.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving with caramelized peaches and balsamic reduction, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.
