Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze it.
Step 6
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cover and let them simmer in the sauce for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
