Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 4 whole Fresh peaches (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 4–5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the thighs and set them aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the honey, balsamic vinegar, and chopped rosemary to the skillet, stirring to combine. Return the chicken thighs to the pan, skin-side up, ensuring they are coated in the sauce.
Nestle the peach slices around and on top of the chicken thighs.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the peachy honey glaze over the chicken before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
