Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 cup Fresh blackberries
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock (gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken over and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add balsamic vinegar, honey, and chicken stock to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Gently stir in fresh blackberries and rosemary, then return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

Once cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and place the chicken thighs on a serving platter.

Step 9

To thicken the blackberry sauce, place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry and stir it into the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 10

Pour the blackberry sauce over the chicken thighs and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or gluten-free rice.
