Honey Garlic Chicken in One-Pot is a delicious and convenient dish that combines tender chicken thighs with a rich, flavorful sauce made from honey, garlic, soy sauce, and mustard. This recipe is designed to be cooked in a single pot, making it easy to prepare and clean up.

Ingredients:

Ingredient	Amount
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs	4
Salt	To taste
Black pepper	To taste
Olive oil	1 tablespoon
Garlic, minced	4 cloves
Honey	1/4 cup
Soy sauce	1/4 cup
Dijon mustard	1 tablespoon
Dried thyme	1 teaspoon (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
Chicken broth	1 cup
Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)	1 tablespoon
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)	To taste

Instructions:

1. Season the Chicken

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

3. Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Mix well to combine.

4. Return Chicken to the Pot

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

5. Add Chicken Broth

Pour chicken broth into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. Bake in the Oven

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

7. Optional Thickening

If you desire a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce and simmer until thickened.
