INGREDIENTS
8 oz Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thigh (approx. 2 pieces of 4 oz each)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 cup Light Beer
1/4 medium Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped thyme, parsley, and dried oregano. Rub this herb mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear on each side for about 3-4 minutes until they develop a golden crust.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Pour in the light beer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chicken braise in the beer-herb mixture for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce slightly for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.
Plate the chicken thighs with some of the pan sauce spooned over the top, and serve warm.
