Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 cup plum sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 large carrots (sliced into thick rounds)
• 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 medium zucchini (sliced into half moons)
• 1 medium red onion (cut into wedges)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the plum sauce, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, cinnamon, ground coriander, sweet paprika, and red chili flakes (if using). Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Nestle the seared chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the skillet. Pour the prepared plum spice sauce over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Plum Spiced Chicken with Vegetables straight from the skillet for a beautiful, rustic presentation.
