Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs (30 Minutes!)
Description
Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs (30 Minutes!) involves seasoning chicken thighs with garlic parsley salt and paprika before searing them on high heat until a golden crust forms. Afterward, the heat is lowered and chicken broth with pressed garlic is added to simmer the thighs until cooked through, keeping the meat tender and moist while infusing it with garlic flavor.
The final dish offers a balance of crispy, browned skin and juicy interior, complemented by a subtly garlicky pan sauce. Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a bright touch.
This recipe suits a main protein dish for a dinner plate, pairing well with vegetables or grains. It highlights straightforward flavors without complex preparation steps.

- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions
- Preheat a skillet with oil over high heat. While it's heating up, pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season them with garlic parsley salt and paprika.
