Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, coating them in the garlic butter mixture. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
