Description
This quick and easy recipe uses inexpensive chicken thighs and sugar free marmalade.
Ingredients
- 8 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt And Pepper
- 2 whole Garlic Cloves, Peeled And Minced
- 1 whole Red Pepper, Cored, Seeded And Diced
- 1-½ cup Chicken Broth
- ¾ cups Sugar Free Marmalade
- 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Parsley
Preparation
Trim the thighs of any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet and brown the thighs well on both sides over medium heat, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the thighs to a plate and cover.
Cook the garlic and diced pepper in the same pan for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth, marmalade and mustard and mix well. Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce has reduced by about 1/3 volume. Stir together the vinegar and cornstarch and whisk this into the broth mixture and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and return the chicken to the pan. Cook over low heat until the thighs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Place the thighs onto a platter and spoon the sauce on top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

I made this using orange marmalade and it was fabulous! Sometimes chicken recipes can leave the chicken tasting like, well, chicken. This recipe takes the chicken to new heights … tasting indescribably delicious. Will make it again VERY soon! It is a new go- to recipe for us.

The smells that permeated my kitchen while making this made me want to make it again before I’d even had a bite! Then when I did taste it, it was just as good as it smelled and will definitely be added to the make again list. Thank you!

oh so good! i added a little extra orange marmalade for a little extra orangey flavor, and i took julip1882’s suggestion for a little chili oil. so good!

This was delicious!
Of course, I couldn’t resist changing it up just a bit and I added crushed red pepper flakes for some heat.
The mustard and red wine vinegar added a tart tang, the marmalade was sweet and the spice of the red pepper flakes made this dish hit on all cylinders.
I will definitely be making it again. Thank you deborahmele!

Delicious! This will definitely be in the regular rotation. I used 2 chicken breasts and served the chicken with rice. I cut the sauce in half since I was only using 2 pieces of chicken but I actually would have liked more sauce with the rice, so next time I think I’ll still make the full amount of sauce. It was very good and easy too!
