Description
This Pomegranate Glazed Chicken recipe combines tender chicken with a sweet and tangy glaze, making it a flavorful and easy dish for any night of the week.
Ingredients
- Boneless Chicken Thighs
- Pomegranate Juice
- Honey
- Garlic
- Salt and Pepper
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine pomegranate juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the liquid. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Brush the thickened glaze over the baked chicken, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize.
- Serve hot, garnished with pomegranate seeds and a sprig of fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Marinate longer for deeper flavor.
- Use fresh pomegranate juice for better taste.
