Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs, skin-on
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
4. In a separate saucepan, heat the chicken broth over low heat.
5. In a separate large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over the onions and cook for an additional 5 minutes until caramelized. Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar and white wine, scraping up any browned bits.
6. Add the Arborio rice to the onions and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually add the warm chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Cook until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
7. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
8. Serve the roasted chicken thighs on a bed of creamy risotto, topped with caramelized onions.
9. Enjoy your delicious roasted chicken with risotto and caramelized onions!
