Ingredients

4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin-on

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby spinach

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Next, add the halved cherry tomatoes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Stir in the balsamic vinegar, honey, and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer and allow to bubble for a couple of minutes until slightly reduced.

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted.

Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up, ensuring they are coated with the balsamic mixture.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Once done, remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
