INGREDIENTS
- ▢2 tablespoons olive oil
- ▢1 ½ pounds (about 6 chicken thighs) boneless skinless chicken thighs
- ▢½ teaspoon onion powder
- ▢½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ▢½ teaspoon chili powder
- ▢salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
- ▢1 tablespoon butter
- ▢2 cloves garlic, minced
- ▢½ cup low sodium chicken broth, (you can also use wine or juice)
- ▢fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet, smooth side down; cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until you can easily flip over the chicken. Flip and cook for 6 to 7 more minutes or until no longer pink.
- Add butter and minced garlic; cook for about 20 to 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth and stir around to scrape up all the crispy bits on the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.
NOTES
- Use a large skillet that fits 4 to 6 boneless chicken thighs.
- DO NOT move the chicken thighs around; let them cook for 5 minutes or until you can easily flip them over.
- Both boneless and bone-in chicken thighs can be used; however, note that bone-in thighs will take longer to cook as the bones add mass. Use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer to check for doneness - chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature registers at 165˚F.
- After adding in the butter and garlic, a splash of chicken broth will help to scrape up all the bits on the bottom of the pan.
- You can use chicken breasts in place of chicken thighs.
