Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

Sprinkle thyme and black pepper evenly over the chicken thighs. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

1 mins

Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. (Prep time: 1 minute)

03

Step

15 mins

Cook chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 10 to 15 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from pan and keep warm. (Cook time: 10-15 minutes)

04

Step

5 mins

Add sliced mushrooms and chopped shallots to the pan over medium heat. Add a splash of chicken broth to deglaze the pan and cook until the vegetables are slightly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. (Cook time: 3-5 minutes)

05

Step

2 mins

Add the remaining chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. (Cook time: 1-2 minutes)

06

Step

2 mins

Return the chicken thighs to the pan and cook in the balsamic-honey sauce until warmed through, about 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring they are nicely coated. (Cook time: 1-2 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the thyme, pepper, and a tablespoon of olive oil for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
To enhance the sauce, consider adding a clove of minced garlic along with the shallots.
Serve over a bed of quinoa, rice, or egg noodles. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or a side of roasted vegetables complements the dish beautifully.
