Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and honey. Mix well to make the marinade.
Add the boneless chicken thighs to the bowl, making sure each piece is well coated with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for best results, marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 8-10 minutes on one side, then flip and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes on the other side. The chicken should be cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken chops for garnish before serving.
Serve the juicy chicken chop with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
