Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub the paprika mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring an even coating.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Flip the chicken thighs over and add the fresh thyme leaves to the skillet.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice around the chicken, being careful not to pour directly on the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Paprika Chicken!
