Chicken with olive oil vinegar dressing
A quick braise of chicken thighs in the bottled dressing, which seasons and sauces at once. The herbs and vinegar brighten a weeknight meal, and the oil keeps the meat moist. Serve over rice to catch the pan sauce.

To buy
- 4 pieces, about 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
From your shelf
- one 16 oz bottle Kroger olive oil and vinegar dressing
Staples
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup rice
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season 4 chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brown skin-side down until golden, about 4 minutes, while you start rice in a separate pot if not already cooking.
- Flip the thighs and brown the other side for 3 minutes. Chop 1 medium onion and mince 2 cloves garlic and add to the pan around the chicken.
- Pour in one 16 oz bottle of Kroger olive oil and vinegar dressing, bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. The sauce will reduce and concentrate.
- Check that the largest thigh reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part when the sauce has reduced by half and the chicken is tender, about 25 minutes total. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Divide rice between two bowls or plates and top each with 2 chicken thighs and the pan sauce.
Note Swap chicken for pork chops or white beans for a meatless version. Leftovers keep three days refrigerated and reheat gently over low heat. Serve with a green salad or steamed vegetables on the side to balance the richness.
