Ingredients
- 6-8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on), about 1.5 lbs
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Medium sweet onion diced
- ⅓ Cup dried cranberries or fresh cranberries
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced or pressed
- ¾ Cup chicken broth or water
- ¼ Cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 5-6 prigs fresh thyme
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook until fragrant, for 1 minute.
- Add chicken, skin side down, and sear until golden on both sides, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add broth and sprinkle with cranberries and fresh thyme, then roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with feta cheese and fresh thyme. Enjoy!
Notes
- .
- Before I season the chicken thighs I love to wash them thoroughly with distilled vinegar. This helps bring out the seasoning really well.
- Make sure to dab the chicken dry, the drier exterior will encourage better browning.
- Don’t move the chicken around when it is searing. You will have the best browning if you let the chicken sit still and only move once when flipping.
- Cook in oil so the chicken won't stick, however, don't use too much or it will splatter.
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check the temp. It should register between 160-165 F. This is not only for safety but also means you can remove before drying out the chicken.
- Don't throw away the brown bits! The browned pieces in the juice from the pan make for a love sauce, don't throw it out, throw it on!
- Omit the feta if you want it dairy-free.
