Last night’s dinner reminded me of a simple, comfort supper that is great for any weeknight, but also works for impressing your guests. I simply sprinkled kosher salt and pepper on chicken thighs and poured over a mixture of olive oil, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and dried sage. I let the chicken sit for about an hour before baking it in the dish I had it marinating in and baking it in the marinade. I wanted to have a little extra “sauce” for the chicken.

I served this chicken with green beans that I roasted in nothing more than a drizzle of olive oil, kosher salt and pepper and a side of cous cous.  It was delicious!

Ingredients

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

• 2 teaspoons minced garlic

• 1-1\/2 tablespoons dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon dried sage

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Sprinkle kosher salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken. Lay in a glass baking dish.
3. In a large glass measuring cup, mix together olive oil,balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic and sage.
4. Pour marinade over chicken and let sit for 1 hours to 3 hours. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to bring dish to room temperature.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Enjoy!

Until next time, Kris
