Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh rosemary sprigs and the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the liquid over the chicken. Cover the skillet and cook for 10 minutes.
Remove the lid and stir in the lemon juice and butter. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for another 3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional rosemary if desired. Spoon the pan sauce over the chicken for added flavor.
