Ingredients

2 tsp
paprika
1 tsp
garlic powder
1 tsp
onion powder
1/2 tsp
dried oregano
1/2 tsp
dried thyme
1/2 tsp
salt
1 tbsp
oil
8
boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp
butter
2
garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup
chicken broth

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and salt. Sprinkle some of the seasoning on one side of the chicken.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the chicken in the skillet, seasoned side down.

Season the remaining side of the chicken with the seasoning blend. Cook until it begins to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until the remaining side is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Once golden, add the butter to the skillet. Once it is melted, add the garlic and cook until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, spooning the mixture over the chicken thighs. Continue to cook until the broth has reduced and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
