Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator to absorb the flavors.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan with a little olive oil.
Place the chicken thighs on the grill pan and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice into the melted butter until well combined.
Once the chicken thighs are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Drizzle the herb-infused butter over the grilled chicken before serving.
Serve the juicy chicken chop hot, with a side of your favorite keto vegetables.
