Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs with Seasonal Vegetables

Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (4) chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • (1/4 cups) honey
  • (1/4 cups) soy sauce
  • (1 tablespoon) apple cider vinegar
  • (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (1 teaspoon) ground ginger
  • (1 tablespoon) olive oil
  • (1) zucchini, sliced
  • (1) bell pepper, chopped
  • (1 cup) broccoli florets
  • (1 teaspoon) salt
  • (1/2 teaspoons) black pepper
  • (1 tablespoon) sesame seeds
  • (2) green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger to create the marinade. Add 2/4 teaspoon black pepper.

  2. 2

    Place 4 chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 °C).

  4. 4

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove chicken thighs from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

  5. 5

    Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the chicken and pour the reserved marinade over the top.

  6. 6

    Add 1 zucchini, sliced, 1 chopped bell pepper, and 1 cup broccoli florets around the chicken in the skillet.

  7. 7

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75 °C) and the vegetables are tender.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 2 chopped green onions before serving.
