Based on a Cooking Light recipe, this has been modified to suit my own tastes. The sweet onions and balsamic vinegar create a lovely contrast in flavors that pair together so well. I usually serve this with couscous or brown rice with a green vegetable such as zucchini or spinach. Reheats well for lunch the next day.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lb vidalia onion or some other sweet onion, cut into large dice (3/8 inch square)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
4 (6 ounce) skinless chicken thighs
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
5 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, divided
salt
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

1
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2
Saute onions with 1/4 teaspoon of pepper for about 5 minutes, the onions should be soft and golden.
3
Add 1/4 teaspoon pepper, chicken, oregano, and thyme to pan, and sprinkle with 4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar.
4
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until chicken is done.

Wonderful flavor and so easy to do. I used Apricot flavored Balsamic Vinegar. Even my DH who is not a fan liked this dish a lot. Since there was no amount or place to add I choose to omit the salt. I will be making this dish many more times.

Love this way of preparing chicken thighs. I like to caramelize my onions for quite a bit longer than suggested, an extra 10-15 min. I also add extra balsamic. I like to serve it with couscous or quinoa and roasted broccoli. Thanks for a great, inexpensive staple.

What an easy way to fix chicken thighs! The balsamic vinegar didn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. I did add salt to the seasoning mix and it was an improvement IMHO. The cook time was accurate and we really enjoyed this chicken dish. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

Loved the flavors of the carmelized onions and balsamic vinegar! The last splash after cooking makes all the difference. Before cooking the chicken, I salted it, since I did not see where the salt was supposed to be used. Easy to do, and surely will make again.
