Ingredients
- 8 chicken boneless thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Green Goddess Marinade
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley packed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 ½ tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion green part only
- 2 teaspoons Tahini
- 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Miso paste sub gluten-free soy sauce or coco aminos, as needed
- 1 small garlic clove
Instructions
- Begin by making the green goddess marinade. Combine the ingredients in your blender and blend on high until smooth. (see notes)
- Place the chicken thighs in a medium-sized bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing then pour the rest over the chicken. Toss to coat then cover the bowl and put it into your fridge. Let the chicken marinate for 1-4 hours.
- Heat a large, non-stick or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil then add the chicken. Discard any marinade that remains in the bowl.
- Cook the chicken for 6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and serve with the reserved marinade drizzled over the top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- The marinade recipe is our favorite Green Goddess Dressing. I highly recommend you triple the recipe so that you have some to serve on a salad or for dinner tomorrow. You'll need ½ cup for this recipe. If you don't want to make a larger portion, make sure to use a small blender, like a Magic Bullet.
