6. In the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
7. Place the chicken thighs back into the pan on top of the onions.
8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
