Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into halves
  • 2 Tbsps coconut oil or olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbsps fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 3-4 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary finely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over med-high heat and add the oil.
  • Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with sea salt and pepper.
  • Once the skillet is hot, add each chicken piece to the skillet in a single layer.
  • Allow the first side to cook about 4-5 minutes or until nicely browned, then flip and cook the second side for the same amount of time, until browned and just cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the skillet onto a cutting board or plate and lower the heat to low. Add the broth, lemon juice, garlic and stir, scraping up any browned chicken bits.
  • Allow the sauce to cook/simmer for about a minute or two until thickened, then add the chicken back into the pan.
  • Flip the chicken in the pan to gently coat with the sauce and add the rosemary.
  • Cook for one more minute, then remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy!
