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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Cooking
  1. Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft and golden.
  2. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the skillet to release bits stuck to the bottom.
  3. Stir in Dijon mustard, dried thyme, and rosemary, then nestle the chicken back into the skillet. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
  4. 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.
