Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, cook chicken thighs in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken thighs and set aside.

  2. Cook and stir onion in the same skillet until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Stir in garlic, cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Stir in tomatoes, orange juice, orange liqueur, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until thoroughly combined.

  5. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, 25 to 30 minutes.

Recipe Note

Tender chicken thigh meat simmers in an orange juice and pepper broth for a citrus-inspired meal that's ready in just 30 minutes, but tastes like it cooked for hours.
