Healthier Garlic-Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs

Healthier Garlic-Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

  • 8 (140g) skinless chicken thighs
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14g)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons sugar-free brown sugar substitute
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C (400 degrees F).
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.
  4. Melt remaining butter in the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits on the bottom. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in the sugar-free brown sugar substitute, honey, oregano, thyme, and basil until well combined. Turn off the heat and return chicken to the skillet.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 25 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 74 degrees C (165 degrees F).
  7. Drizzle pan sauce over chicken thighs when serving.
