Ingredients:

12 chicken thighs
1200g
3 potatoes
600g
2 red onions
320g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
1/3 cup vinegar
72g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
270g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Ingredients:
- Cut the potatoes into chunks and slice the red onions.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
3. Mix Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Stir well until the brown sugar dissolves.
4. Marinate Chicken:
- Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag. Pour half of the balsamic mixture over the chicken, making sure they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
5. Prepare Baking Dish:
- In a large baking dish, spread the potato chunks, sliced red onions, and fresh thyme evenly.
6. Add Chicken:
- Remove chicken from marinade and place the thighs on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
- Drizzle the remaining balsamic mixture over the entire dish.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes.
8. Add Cherry Tomatoes:
- After 35 minutes, remove the baking dish and add the halved cherry tomatoes.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
9. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve hot, ensuring each plate gets a good mix of chicken, potatoes, onions, and tomatoes.

Tips:

- Marinate the chicken thighs in the balsamic mixture for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

- Make sure to cut the potatoes into even pieces for uniform cooking.

- Add the cherry tomatoes towards the end of baking to keep them juicy and flavorful.

- For extra crispiness, broil the dish for the last few minutes of cooking.

- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices such as rosemary or oregano for a different flavor profile.

Enjoy your flavorful Balsamic Chicken Bake, a delightful one-pan meal sure to satisfy everyone at the table. This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or a side of steamed vegetables. Bon appétit!
