Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and coconut aminos. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring each piece is fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a zip-top bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once preheated, lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side, or until grill marks form and the chicken easily releases from the grill.
Flip the chicken pieces and continue to cook for another 6-7 minutes. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) when fully cooked.
Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes to maintain juiciness.
Serve the Whole30 Juicy Chicken Chops with your favorite Whole30-compliant sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
