Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
In a bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sear the marinated chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken cook for 20-25 minutes, or until it is completely tender and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet. If desired, simmer the remaining liquid for an additional 5 minutes to thicken it into a sauce.
Serve the soft chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or with a side of roasted vegetables. Drizzle any reserved sauce over the top for added flavor.
