Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 8 oz steak, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5–6 minutes.
  • Flip chicken and cook another 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add steak strips and season with salt and pepper. Sear for 2–3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove steak and set aside with chicken.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add brown sugar and water to the skillet, stirring to dissolve the sugar and deglaze the pan, scraping up the flavorful bits.
  • Return chicken and steak to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the meat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove from heat and let rest a couple minutes before serving. Spoon extra glaze over the top and enjoy!
