Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 medium Onion, sliced
• 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken stock
• 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and brown them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Stir in the lemon juice and thyme, cooking for another minute.

Step 6

Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes so they begin to break down.

Step 8

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, then add the low-sodium chicken stock.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 10

Fold in the corn kernels and let them heat through for another 2 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Chicken Maryland with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad to keep it low in fat.
