30 Recipes You Can Make with Chicken Thighs: Garlic Lemon Chicken Thighs
by eatwell101
Yield: 4 servings Prep Time: 10 min Cook time: 15 min
Marinated and seared chicken thighs come out perfectly juicy and tender every time. This boneless skinless chicken thighs recipe will be your new dinner routine!
Ingredients you need for the Garlic Lemon Chicken Thighs
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons chili pepper flakes
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon
Directions
1. To make the Garlic Lemon Chicken Thighs: In a medium bowl, combine cilantro, 4 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, chicken bouillon, chili powder, chili pepper flakes, cumin, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into two.
2. In a gallon-size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken thighs and half the marinade mixture; marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken thighs from the marinade.
3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs to the grill pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165ºF (74ºC), about 4-5 minutes per side.
4. Serve the Garlic Lemon Chicken Thighs with the remaining lemon-garlic-cilantro mixture on the side immediately. Enjoy!
