Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cups Chutney (such as mango or apricot)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.25 teaspoons Chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chutney, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, and chili flakes (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, turning them to coat evenly with the glaze.

Step 8

Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Stir occasionally to ensure the glaze doesn’t burn.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving plate and spoon any remaining glaze over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
