Ingredients
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (see note 1)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard (see note 2)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds, see note 3)
- 1 pint grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
- 2 prigs rosemary broken in half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper).
- Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour. Remove from marinade (reserve marinade) and pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- In a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer, skin-side down. Cook until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip chicken and add tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes have started to pop release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add reserved marinade and rosemary sprigs. Bring to boil, then transfer uncovered to the oven.
- Bake until the chicken reaches 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and remove rosemary stems.
Notes
- Balsamic vinegar: Aceto balsamico, or balsamic vinegar, is a versatile pantry staple. Although balsamic vinegar is made from Trebbiano grapes and grape must, it's not technically a wine vinegar. This concentrated liquid is slightly sweet and dreamy in everything from homemade vinaigrettes and glazes to soups and marinades and pan sauces like this.
- Whole grain mustard: Grab a bottle at the supermarket or stir together a batch of homemade mustard (it's easy!).
- Chicken thighs: Or substitute bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts. The skin gets golden brown and crisps up beautifully.
- Yield: This Balsamic Chicken Recipe creates four dinner-sized servings that including 6 ounces of chicken each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
