The tender chicken thighs, savoury mushrooms and onions are baked and coated in a flavourful balsamic glaze. This meal is gluten-free, Paleo, Whole30 and low-carb friendly.

Ingredients 

  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil or olive oil
  • 4 chicken thighs skin off, no bone, diced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 large onion halved and sliced
  • 150-170 g button mushrooms 6 oz. halved and smaller ones left whole
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Balsamic glaze sauce

  • 1 clove of garlic grated or finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar aged, ideally, or add 1 teaspoon of honey
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari or coconut aminos
  • A handful of chopped spring onion to garnish (optional, other herbs can also be used)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F. Grease a flat sheet pan/oven tray with coconut oil or olive oil.
  • Scatter the chicken evenly on the tray. Season with half a teaspoon of sea salt.
  • Top the chicken with onions and mushrooms (see image) and sprinkle with another half teaspoon of sea salt. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place the tray in the oven, middle shelf.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir the mushrooms and chicken through. Place back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
  • In the meantime, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Finally, remove the chicken again and drizzle evenly with the sauce. Stir through and bake for 5 more minutes, until the sauce is lightly caramelised and sticky.
  • Prepare any side vegetables or a salad while the chicken is baking. Serve while hot.
