Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs about 6 to 8 chicken thighs
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 2 thinly sliced shallots
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ cup beer
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken. Season the chicken thighs with oregano, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning into the thighs so it sticks.
- Cook. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet set over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs to the heated oil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the chicken flips over easily and is golden brown on the bottom.
- Continue cooking. Flip the chicken and cook for 6 to 8 more minutes, or until done and the internal temperature reaches 165˚F. Remove the cooked thighs from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics. Return the skillet to the burner and increase the heat to medium-high. Add a little more oil if needed. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in garlic and cook for 20 seconds.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Whisk in the beer, soy sauce, mustard, and honey; increase the heat to High and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring up all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking for 3 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced.
- Combine. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and turn to coat with the sauce.
- Serve. Remove from heat. Garnish the thighs with parsley and serve.
