Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub the paprika mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring an even coating.
Step 4
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Step 6
Flip the chicken thighs over and add the fresh thyme leaves to the skillet.
Step 7
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice around the chicken, being careful not to pour directly on the chicken.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Paprika Chicken!
