• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 3 pieces fresh peaches, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for 3 additional minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

5. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter.

6. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

7. Stir in the sliced peaches, ground cinnamon, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 3 minutes, allowing the peaches to caramelize slightly.

8. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up, along with the peaches.

9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

10. Remove the skillet from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

11. Serve the chicken thighs with the caramelized peaches on top, drizzling the pan juices over for extra flavor.
