Ginger Garlic Chicken Thighs with Bell Peppers

This dish features succulent chicken thighs marinated in a zesty ginger-garlic sauce, then grilled or baked to perfection. The addition of colorful bell peppers not only adds a vibrant look but also a sweet crunch, balancing the warm spices. The combination of ginger and garlic creates a fragrant base that enhances the savory profile of the chicken, making it a delightful main course that's both comforting and exciting.

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
4. While the grill is heating, slice the bell peppers and toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If baking, place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
6. In the last few minutes of cooking, add the bell peppers to the grill or oven to roast alongside the chicken.
7. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with the roasted bell peppers.
