Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Season Chicken Thighs (4) with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) .
Step 2
Heat a generous splash of Olive Oil (as needed) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place thighs in the pan, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 7 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3
Using tongs, flip the chicken. Add Fresh Cranberries (1 1/2 cups) , Balsamic Vinegar (1/4 cup) , Honey (3 Tbsp) , and Fresh Thyme (1 tsp) to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over high heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium.
Step 4
Cover the pan for 5 minutes, stir, and use a spoon or spatula to break open the berries. Cover for another 4-8 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
Step 5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan.
Step 6
Season to taste with Salt (to taste) , Ground Black Pepper (to taste) , and additional honey if desired. Add in Pomegranate Juice (3 Tbsp) and increase the heat to high. Stir until the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Serve the chicken with the sauce, garnished with Fresh Parsley (to taste) if desired.
