A comforting one-pan chicken dish with tender thighs, herbs, and cherry tomatoes, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Protein
- 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
Sauce & Liquids
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Vegetables
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Spices
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot oil and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and sear the other side for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Cooking
- Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft and golden.
- Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the skillet to release bits stuck to the bottom.
- Stir in Dijon mustard, dried thyme, and rosemary, then nestle the chicken back into the skillet. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest briefly before serving.
Notes
Serve with fluffy rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Consider adding vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for a twist. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
