Ingredients
1 tbsp butter
1.5 lbs (about 6 chicken thighs) boneless skinless chicken thighs (you can also use chicken breasts)
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
fresh chopped parsley for garnish
1/2 c. low sodium chicken broth (you can also use wine or juice)
salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
How to make Juicy Stove Top Chicken Thighs
Step 1: Sprinkle the chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, chilli powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet, smooth-side down, and cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken can easily be flipped over. Turn the chicken on the other side and continue to cook for another 5 to 7 minutes or until the chicken has browned.
Step 3: To the skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Cook for approximately 30 minutes or until aromatic.
Step 4: Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the pan. Cook for a minute more.
Step 5: When done, take the pan off the heat. Serve the chicken thighs right away garnished with some chopped parsley. Enjoy!
Notes:
For this recipe, I recommend using a large skillet that can accommodate about 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
Make sure to cook the chicken on medium-high heat, undisturbed for about 5 minutes until you can easily turn the chicken over.
You can substitute the chicken broth with your favourite wine or apple juice.
Or use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs.
