Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Serving Size: 1-2 thighs per person

Ingredients

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs: 8 pieces
Fresh lemon juice: 60ml (from 2 lemons)
Lemon zest: from 1 lemon
Garlic cloves (minced): 6
Olive oil: 50ml
Fresh parsley (chopped): 20 grams
Salt: 5 grams
Freshly ground black pepper: 5 grams

Method of Preparation

In a bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for better flavor infusion.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs.
Cook each side for 6-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken thighs to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Optional: Drizzle with extra lemon juice or serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips

Marinating overnight will intensify the flavors.
For an added layer of flavor, introduce some chili flakes or rosemary to the marinade.
