Categories     Chicken     Braise     Dinner

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 chicken thighs, skinned
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1/4 cup dry red wine
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup honey
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and heat olive oil in a braising pan over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thoroughly on all sides until it is a deep, golden color, about 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. 2. Add shallots and thyme to the pot, and sauté until soft and golden. Pour wine into pan, and scrape up any bits left from the chicken. Cook 1-2 minutes, until nearly all liquid has evaporated. 3. Add vinegar, broth, honey, bay leaf, and chicken to the pot, and bring to a simmer. Cover tightly and transfer to oven. Cook 30 minutes, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and is a deep, mahogany brown. 4. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer chicken to a plate. Remove bay leaf, and skim off and discard any fat floating on the surface of the sauce. Cook sauce uncovered on a burner over medium-high heat to reduce liquid by half, until it has the consistency of a light syrup. Reduce heat to medium-low, add chicken back to pan, spoon sauce over top, and cook for 2 minutes to reheat. Serve hot.

I'm not a fan of chicken thighs, but I really enjoyed this dish. The balsamic vinegar and herbs really complemented the chicken.

This dish is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out tough and the sauce was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. The sauce was also very good, but I added a little bit of honey to sweeten it up a bit.

I'm not a huge fan of balsamic vinegar, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was moist and tender, and the sauce was flavorful without being too overpowering.
