Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, 3 tbsp of the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until combined. Pour half of this mixture into a separate container and set aside as the dressing. Add the chicken thighs to the remaining marinade, turning to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

While the chicken marinates, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the cherry tomatoes cut-side down and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until blistered and beginning to collapse. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
