Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, honey, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, remove the chicken thighs from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place them in the skillet.
Step 4
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on one side, or until browned. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-6 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and coats the chicken pieces.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate and spoon the thickened sauce from the skillet over the top.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
