Ingredients
- 8-10 chicken thighs boneless skinless
- ½ tsp salt & pepper
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 prigs fresh Rosemary stem removed
- ½ lemon juiced
Instructions
- Coat the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- On medium heat, heat up your skillet (preferably cast iron, this is the one I use) and add the olive oil before adding in the chicken thighs, smooth side down, and then cook for 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for 4 minutes.
- Add the butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan. Allow the butter to melt, tilt the pan, and spoon the melted butter that pooled on the side (with the garlic and rosemary) on top of the chicken thighs. Continue to do so until the garlic and rosemary have cooked through, around 1 to 2 minutes.
- Finish off by squeezing half a lemon over the top of the chicken thighs before serving. Serve with lemon slices if you desire.
