My husband has asked me to start posting how I cook certain things that he and the family like. I like to cook simply, with easy ingredients that I can throw together and have a meal in 30 minutes or less.
Braised Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (or as many as your skillet will hold)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1-2 cups chicken broth
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium/high heat til the oil shimmers. Place chicken in pan and brown each side for about 4-5 minutes. You want a nice crisp brown on both sides. Lower the heat to low, and pour in chicken broth until it comes up 1/2 to 3/4 up the sides of the chicken, do not submerge. Cover with a tight lid and cook for 12 minutes. You can check for doneness with a meat thermometer. (165 for chicken thighs)
- Move the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to rest for 10 min. Serve with rice, vegetables, etc.
