Main Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, and chicken broth.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
