Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves, fresh
- 1 teaspoon Sugar

Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Stir in 1 cup of crushed tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, cooking for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add 0.5 cup of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer for 15 minutes, or until it is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken alongside rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
