Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Place the boneless chicken thighs in a bowl.
Step 2
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, cumin powder, and Dijon mustard. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for best results.
Step 4
Preheat a grill pan or regular frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, place the marinated chicken thighs in the pan.
Step 6
Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain the juices.
Step 8
Serve the juicy chicken chops with your favorite low sodium side dishes like steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
