Boneless Chicken Thigh Recipe

[Kitty]

Let's have chicken today!

Ingredients​

• 1.5 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Instructions​

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes (if using).
2. Marinate the Chicken:
   • Add the boneless chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly with the marinade.
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Cook the Chicken:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a bit of olive oil to the skillet.
   • Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them in the skillet.
   • Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.
4. Bake the Chicken:
   • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken thighs for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
   • If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the chicken to a baking dish before placing it in the oven.
5. Rest and Serve:
   • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
   • Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your flavorful and juicy boneless chicken thighs!
