Tender chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and tangy honey-cranberry sauce, topped with melted brie and served alongside roasted sweet potatoes and apples. A perfect balance of savory and sweet, ideal for a cozy dinner.
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 apples, cored and sliced into wedges
- 8 ounces brie, cut into slices
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and thyme. Set aside.
- Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
- While sweet potatoes roast, heat remaining olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet.
- Add apple wedges to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Return chicken to skillet, brush generously with honey-cranberry glaze. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove skillet from oven. Add roasted sweet potatoes and apple wedges around chicken. Top chicken with brie slices. Return to oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until brie is melted and chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
