Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken thighs in the skillet skin-side down. Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden and crispy.

Step 3

Flip the chicken thighs and sear the other side for another 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Stir in the fresh thyme and pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to release extra flavor.

Step 6

Add the chicken thighs back into the skillet skin-side up. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 7

Remove the lid and add the lemon juice to the skillet. Spoon some of the pan sauce over the chicken to fully coat it.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to enjoy with the flavorful sauce.
