Make this simple Skillet Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs for a zesty and comforting weeknight meal. You will love how quickly this pan-roasted chicken comes together.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet. Sear for 6 to 8 minutes until the skin is deeply golden brown and crisp.
  4. Flip the chicken thighs. Reduce heat to medium.
  5. Add the minced garlic to the pan around the chicken. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
  7. Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven.
  8. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven. Squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the top if desired.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs very dry before seasoning.
  • You can use boneless, skinless thighs, but reduce the oven roasting time.
  • This sauce is wonderful spooned over rice or mashed potatoes.
