Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet set over medium heat.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Add seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side down. Sear undisturbed for 5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs, until the juices run clear.
- Add the butter and garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Turn up the heat to medium-high and pour in the broth, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring the liquid to a simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until it reduces by about half and the internal temperature of the chicken is 165º Fahrenheit.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the chicken garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- STORAGE: Store leftover chicken thighs in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, preheat your oven to 325°F. Add the chicken to an oven safe dish and cover with foil. Cook until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat the chicken thighs in the microwave.
