Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp of butter or olive oil (optional--you can skip this step)
  • 4 chicken thighs (I use bone-in, skin on)
  • 1 medium onion, halved and sliced
  • 1 jar of Trader Joe’s Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet melt butter (or warm olive oil) over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down and cook on medium to high until browned (about five to seven minutes). Note: You can skip this step if you’d like. It adds a bit more flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Spread onions along the bottom of a large baking dish (I use an 8 X 11 glass Pyrex dish). Nest the chicken thighs skin-side up on over the onions. Cover with the whole jar of Trader Joe’s Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce. Bake in preheated oven uncovered for 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. I recommended removing the dish from the oven about halfway through the cooking time and spooning some of the sauce over each piece of chicken so that it doesn’t dry out. The sauce will get a bit watery as the onions release their juices, so I suggest serving this over rice.

Notes

You could easily add some other vegetables if you would like (think peppers, tomatoes, etc.).
I have made this in the slow cooker and it works well.
