Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the chicken thighs in the skillet, seasoning them with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Cook the chicken thighs for about 5 minutes on each side until they are browned and thoroughly cooked with no pink near the bone.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Return the caramelized onions to the skillet, along with the fresh rosemary and thyme.
Step 7
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly reduce.
Step 9
Serve the chicken hot, topped with the caramelized onions and accompanied by your choice of Paleo-friendly side.
