Ingredients:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 lb. total) |
salt and pepper |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 onion, chopped |
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
juice of 1 lime |
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro |
Directions:
1. Trim chicken of excess fat; season with salt and pepper.
2. Melt butter with oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, turning often, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes total.
3. Remove chicken to a plate; pour off all but 1 Tbsp. fat. Sauté onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth and cook, stirring to pick up browned bits of chicken on bottom of skillet. Stir in peanut butter and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring, until sauce is smooth. (If sauce is too thick, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time.) Stir in red pepper.
4. Return chicken to skillet; turn to coat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low; cook until chicken is cooked through, 25 minutes. Remove chicken to platter. Skim fat from sauce, stir in lime juice and 1 Tbsp. cilantro; spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
