- 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic crushed, cloves
- 2 tsp dried herbs (Any dried herb mix will work: Herbs de Provence, Italian seasoning or even just dried oregano)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 lemon sliced
Instructions
- Season the chicken with the lemon juice, salt, garlic powder and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet or pan over medium high heat then add the chicken thighs, skin side down. Allow the chicken to cook for 7-10 minutes until the skin is a deep golden brown and the fat has rendered.
- Carefully flip the chicken thighs over and allow to cook for another 10 minutes on the other side.
- Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add butter, garlic and herbs and allow to cook for 30 seconds before adding the lemon slices and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer then add the chicken thighs back in. Allow to cook for another 10 minutes. You can cover the chicken if you want more sauce or place it in a hot oven to finish cooking.
- Serve the chicken with the pan sauce and lemon slices with sides of your choice.
