Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. 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. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the fresh rosemary sprigs and the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the liquid over the chicken. Cover the skillet and cook for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the lid and stir in the lemon juice and butter. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for another 3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional rosemary if desired. Spoon the pan sauce over the chicken for added flavor.
