Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the chicken thighs in the skillet, seasoning them with sea salt and black pepper.
Cook the chicken thighs for about 5 minutes on each side until they are browned and thoroughly cooked with no pink near the bone.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Return the caramelized onions to the skillet, along with the fresh rosemary and thyme.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly reduce.
Serve the chicken hot, topped with the caramelized onions and accompanied by your choice of Paleo-friendly side.
