📝 Ingredients:
• 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (approximately 2.2 lbs or 1 kg)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Olive oil, for cooking
• 1 red onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 lb (225 g) fresh green beans, trimmed and chopped in half
• 1 1/2 cups (about 225 g) matchstick carrots
• 1 pint (about 300 g) cherry tomatoes, halved

For the Sauce:
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 3 Tbsp honey
• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

Garnish:
• Fresh basil leaves
• Serve with rice

🍽️ Instructions:
1. Sauté the Aromatics:
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is softened and fragrant.

2. Sear the Chicken:
Season the chicken thighs with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Push the sautéed aromatics to the side of the skillet and add the chicken thighs, skin-side down.
Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

3. Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

4. Add Sauce and Vegetables:
Pour the balsamic sauce over the chicken in the skillet, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Add the trimmed green beans, matchstick carrots, and halved cherry tomatoes around the chicken.

5. Bake:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

6. Garnish and Serve:
Once out of the oven, garnish the dish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve the balsamic chicken and vegetables with a side of rice for a complete meal.

Tips:
• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the balsamic sauce for a few hours before cooking.
• This dish pairs well with a light salad or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
