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-die down, and cook for about 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for an additional 6 to 7 minutes or until brown.
Step 3: To the skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Cook for another 30 minutes or until the garlic is aromatic.
Step 4: Then, pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for a minute more.
Step 5: When done, remove from the heat and serve the chicken thighs right away garnished with some fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
Notes:
For this recipe, make sure to use a large skillet that can fit about 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
When cooking the chicken thighs over medium-high heat, do not move them around. Just let them cook for about 5 minutes or until they can easily be flipped over.
You can use your preferred white wine or apple juice in place of chicken broth.
Also, you can swap the chicken thighs with chicken breasts.
