chicken thighs with shallots in red wine vinegar











Delicious!  I didn't know what I was going to make for dinner tonight but I had chicken thighs and I know Skinnytaste has a lot of recipes that use chicken thighs so that's where I looked for a recipe.  I picked a winner tonight.

chicken thighs with shallots in red wine vinegar (slightly adapted from skinnytaste)
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 
salt and pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup chicken broth, divided
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon butter
3/4 cup sliced green onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced carrots, optional
2 tablespoons light sour cream

Season chicken with salt and pepper.
In medium saucepan combine vinegar, honey, 3/4 cup chicken broth and tomato paste.  Boil 5 minutes until it reduces down to 3/4 cup.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat and add chicken.  Cook on both sides until brown, 6-8 minutes.  Remove chicken and set aside.  Add the garlic and green onions and sliced carrots (optional).  Cook on low until soft about 5 minutes.
Pour the juice over the chicken, add 1/4 cup chicken broth, salt and pepper.  Cook and simmer about 20 minutes until tender.  
Remove the chicken, add sour cream and stir into the sauce.  Boil a few minutes.  Return chicken to the skillet.
