Lemon Rosemary Skillet Chicken Thighs
These Lemon Rosemary Skillet Chicken Thighs are a flavorful main dish for any time of the year. No marinade required!
Ingredients
- 1-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, for best results, use the freshest date possible
- 2-4 tablespoons regular olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons salted or unsalted butter, optional
- 1-2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2-4 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1-2 lemon, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt, or more, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, or more, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat regular olive oil (and optional butter) over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook until translucent.
- Add desired amount of salt and pepper to both sides of each chicken thigh before adding to the skillet. This can be done while the garlic is cooking. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet.
- Place a lemon slice on each chicken thigh and place the rosemary over the lemon. Cook the thighs for 8-10 minutes on each side. Adjust the heat in case the skillet gets too hot (you do not want the oil to burn). The thighs should be browned on both sides. After you flip the chicken thighs over, using tongs, place the lemon and rosemary back on the top of the thighs.
- You can check for doneness by slicing through the thickest chicken thigh, However, the only way to know for sure is to use a meat thermometer. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
Notes
To check for doneness: 170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and legs
