Cook time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0 salt
• 0 black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 heads garlic, cloves peeled
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1.5 tbsp white miso paste
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
• 0.67 cup chicken broth
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp ground ginger
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 0 prepared sauce
• 0 chicken broth
• 0 prepared sauce
• 0 creamy mashed potatoes
• 0 broccolini

Instructions

1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add garlic, cooking until partially softened and lightly golden.
4. Add chicken and sear until golden on both sides, about 4–5 minutes per side. Keep the garlic moving so it doesn’t burn, or temporarily remove it while searing and return it when adding the sauce.
5. Whisk together miso, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, broth, lemon, ginger and cornstarch until smooth.
6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and simmer gently, stirring the sauce occasionally, until thickened and glossy and the chicken reaches 165°F.
7. Add a splash more broth if the sauce reduces too much.
8. Finish by generously spooning the sauce over the chicken.
9. Serve over creamy mashed potatoes with broccolini and plenty of sauce!
