Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 cups seedless red grapes
- 3 to 4 shallots, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

- 4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Set a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

- Add sliced shallots to the same skillet and cook until softened. Stir in minced garlic.
- Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up browned bits.

- Cover partially and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and grapes are softened.
- Remove thyme, swirl in butter, and adjust seasoning.
- Serve hot with sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
- Use a lid during simmering to retain moisture.
- Add a splash of balsamic vinegar if you like deeper flavor.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, couscous, or crusty bread.
