Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth (soy-free)
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 6

Flip the chicken thighs over and reduce heat to medium. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the other side is browned and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 8

In the same skillet, add lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step 9

Add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt into the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 10

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.

Step 11

Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve the soy-free juicy chicken chop hot, optionally with a side of your favorite vegetables or grains.
