Sometimes all it takes is a handful of simple ingredients to transform an everyday item into something very unique! Take this chicken thigh recipe for example: a mere 4-ingredients (plus the chicken thighs) is all you need to make this sweet yet tangy cranberry-balsamic chicken.  Pan-seared, skin-on chicken thighs are browned in a pan and then cooked with a combination of thawed cranberries, fresh thyme, honey and balsamic vinegar.  This dish comes together in no time at all, is very colorful and flavorful, and if like me, you still have a stock-pile of frozen cranberries in the freezer for the Holidays…all the better!
