Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the onions. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it coats the onions and spices evenly.
Pour in the chicken broth, honey, and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
