  • 4

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, stem and seeds removed thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons clover honey
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock or broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven over high heat until it shimmers. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the pan, in batches, top-side-down. Cook until golden brown, 4 minutes. Turn over, continue cooking 3 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.

Add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and cook until reduced by half. Add honey and broth, season with salt and pepper, cook for 5 minutes. Return the chicken and accumulated juices to the pot. Reduce heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a platter. Cook sauce until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and pour sauce over the chicken.
