Balsamic Chicken Thighs

I love balsamic vinegar, so I knew immediately that I would enjoy this balsamic chicken thighs dish. In addition to the use of balsamic vinegar, this recipe caught my eye because it is simple, consists of few ingredients and easy to clean up. It is also a healthy dish since it uses skinless chicken thighs and other healthy ingredients.

The preparation is as easy as it gets. All the ingredients, other than the chicken, are first combined into a Ziploc bag. Then, the chicken thighs are put in the bag and tossed until completely coated. After marinating the chicken in the fridge for at least an hour, it is baked in the oven. It’s that easy! The chicken came out tasty and really good. I like the mild taste of the balsamic vinegar. It was not too overpowering. My family enjoyed this simple dish with steamed rice and salad. Enjoy!
