Recipe By: Carolyn Malcoun “To round out this healthy chicken dinner recipe, put some farro on to cook before you start cooking the chicken. Add some steamed broccoli and serve with a glass of pinot noir.”
Ingredients
4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 1½ pounds)
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1½ cups cranberries, thawed if frozen
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
Directions
1
Sprinkle chicken with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, reduce heat to medium and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan.
2
Turn the chicken over and add cranberries, vinegar, honey and thyme to the pan. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part without touching bone reaches 165°F, 10 to 12 minutes.
3
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Increase heat to high, add the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and cook uncovered, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Serve the chicken with the sauce.
