Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Place the boneless chicken thighs in a bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, cumin powder, and Dijon mustard. Mix well to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for best results.
Preheat a grill pan or regular frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once the pan is hot, place the marinated chicken thighs in the pan.
Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain the juices.
Serve the juicy chicken chops with your favorite low sodium side dishes like steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
