Golden Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano to ensure even flavor throughout the chicken.

2. 2

   Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear them for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.

3. 3

   Add Garlic: Once the chicken is browned, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir it around the chicken for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

4. 4

   Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet as this adds extra flavor to the sauce.

5. 5

   Simmer the Chicken: Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer in the broth for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

6. 6

   Finish with Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and cover the skillet for an additional 2-3 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and creates a delicious creamy sauce.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the chicken with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
