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!
