This easy yet elegant recipe starts with a zesty marinade of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, and paprika, infusing every bite with irresistible depth.

Finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, this versatile dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or special gatherings. Serve it alongside roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a satisfying, flavor-packed meal your family will crave. Ideal for fans of one-pan recipes, herb-seasoned dishes, and hearty roasted chicken.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear them for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, ensuring it surrounds the chicken but does not cover the skin.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
