Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 pieces fresh peaches, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for 3 additional minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 7
Stir in the sliced peaches, ground cinnamon, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 3 minutes, allowing the peaches to caramelize slightly.
Step 8
Nestle the chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up, along with the peaches.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve the chicken thighs with the caramelized peaches on top, drizzling the pan juices over for extra flavor.
