Skillet Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs

Description:
Juicy boneless chicken thighs cooked in a single skillet with garlic, herbs, and butter—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. This one-pan meal is full of flavor, low-mess, and ready in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients (Serves 2–3):

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• Salt & pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
• Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Directions:

1. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of the butter.
3. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add garlic and remaining butter to the pan. Stir around the chicken for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and the butter is melted.
5. Sprinkle with parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
6. Serve hot with a fresh side like cucumber avocado salad or sautéed green beans.
