I like using balsamic vinegar in my cooking, and this recipe is no exception: You can substitute chicken breasts, but I'd advise against it — The thighs are higher in fat, but taste much better. Note: Very good over cooked rice.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 large red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 sprig flat leaf parsley, fresh (optional)
lemon wedge (optional)

Directions

1
Heat the oil in a large, non-stick pan, high heat.
2
Cut onion into thin rounds.
3
Add 1/4 tsp. pepper and 1/8 tsp. salt.
4
Saute, cooking about 5 minutes.
5
Reduce to med-high.
6
Add chicken, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1/8 tsp. salt, marjoram and oregano.
7
Cook 2 minutes, and then add balsamic vinegar.
8
Stir and reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-35 minutes.
9
Cook uncovered for another 2-4 minutes, until sauce has reduced somewhat.
10
If you want to garnish the dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Finally a recipe that doesn't over do it with the ingredients. Just the right amount to make it taste flavorful yet let the taste of chicken shine through. When I eat meat I want to know what kind of meat I'm eating with lots of recipes the ingredients are so overpowering you can't tell sometimes. Thanks for posting this recipe.

I didn't do the part with the red onions but the chicken was marvelous! My husband even told me it was good before I asked him Sweet and tangy, this is going to be a regular!

We absolutely loved this recipe! I had been going to make another favourite, but realized it was a long marinating process, so chose this one instead. I'm glad I did! I made it as written, except I didn't have a whole red onion.... used what I had and it was perfect. Now I have at least two tried and true ways to prepare chicken thighs! Thanks Bansidhe!
