Tender chicken thigh meat simmers in an orange juice and pepper broth for a citrus-inspired meal that's ready in just 30 minutes, but tastes like it cooked for hours.
Ingredients | Chicken Thigh Recipes Pan2 tablespoons olive oil4 bone-in chicken thighs1 onion, chopped2 cloves garlic, minced1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice2 cups orange juice (no pulp)¼ cup brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®) (Optional)1 pinch salt and ground black pepper¼ teaspoon red pepper flakesDirectionsHeat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken thighs in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken thighs and set aside.Cook and stir onion in the same skillet until softened, about 5 minutes.Stir in garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.Stir in tomatoes, orange juice, orange liqueur, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until thoroughly combined.Return chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, 25 to 30 minutes.I often substitute chili-infused olive oil for the red pepper flakes. This recipe will allow for more thighs to be added dependent upon the size of the skillet.Info | Chicken Thigh Recipes Panprep:
