Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs
Golden Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs in Garlic Butter Sauce
Ingredients:
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5–7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Lower heat to medium. In the same pan, add butter and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in thyme, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon sauce over the top.
Cover and cook on low for 10–12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Uncover and let simmer for an additional 2 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
