Calories: 305kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
- ½ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place your Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium-high heat with olive oil.
- Add the chopped onions to the dutch oven over medium heat and sauté until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Remove the dutch oven from the heat. Add the chicken thighs, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, Worcestershire, mustard, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
- Cover the Dutch oven and place in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and fall apart tender. Chicken should have an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
- Place the chicken thighs on a plate and shred chicken using two forks removing any excess fat. Transfer the chicken back to the dutch oven and stir into the sauce.
Optional
- Place the dutch oven with the shredded chicken back into the oven and broil on high for 5-10 minutes or until crispy. Before doing this make sure your Dutch oven can withstand temperatures up to 550 degrees.
