Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 green onions
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• ½ cup plum jam

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Finely chop 2 tablespoons of green onions and set aside for the garnish. Cut remaining green onions into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Toss chicken thighs with five-spice powder and salt in a bowl.

Step 3

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, leaving drippings in the skillet.

Step 4

Cook green onion pieces in the drippings until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in plum jam, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and return thighs to the skillet. Cook until syrupy, turning a few times to coat, about 5 minutes. Garnish with reserved green onions.
