Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless chicken thighs Choose thighs with a deep pink color for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin olive oil adds depth; avocado oil can also be used.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh minced garlic can be substituted; use about 3 cloves.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Smoked paprika can provide a lovely smoky depth.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley Optional, for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by seasoning your boneless chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  3. After cooking, remove the thighs from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
  4. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving warm.

Notes

For maximum flavor, consider marinating your chicken thighs up to 24 hours beforehand. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
