Main Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs choose similar size for even cooking
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 onion medium, chopped
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt adjust based on broth saltiness
0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground for best flavor
1 lemon juice only
0.5 cup chicken broth low-sodium preferred

Instructions

Pat chicken thighs dry. Rub with salt, pepper, paprika, and a small amount of olive oil to help seasoning stick.
Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken thighs for 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Add garlic and onion. Stir for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp).
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

You can swap lemon juice with honey or orange zest for a sweet twist, or add cream and mushrooms for a cozy version. These thighs also bake well at 400°F for 25–30 minutes. Leftovers stay juicy and reheat well.
