BALSAMIC-HONEY CHICKEN THIGHS
I wanted to create something light with relatively few ingredients that didn't have vying tastes. This was perfect. Very simple but delicious. The measurements for the broth and balsamic vinegar are approximate. I served it with thin no-yolk egg noodles with a little bit of browned butter, black pepper, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Great side.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible. This will ensure that your dish has the best possible flavor and nutritional value.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it plenty of space so that it can brown evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before it is safe to eat.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

The combination of sweet honey and tangy balsamic vinegar creates a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table.
