Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze it.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cover and let them simmer in the sauce for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
