Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 2 pieces Apples (firm, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (finely grated)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the broiler in your oven and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Place them in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for extra flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, core and slice the apples into thin wedges. Set aside.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the apple slices around the chicken, pouring a small amount of the marinade over the apples for added flavor.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 10-12 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken pieces and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Keep an eye on the apples to ensure they soften and caramelize but don’t burn.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve warm alongside the roasted apples.
