Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (soy-free)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Flip the chicken thighs over and reduce heat to medium. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the other side is browned and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt into the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the soy-free juicy chicken chop hot, optionally with a side of your favorite vegetables or grains.
