Ingredients Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken thighs (approx. 300g total)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1/2 lemon (zest and juice)
  • 15 ml extra virgin olive oil (approx 1 tbsp)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Notes

Sauce too thin?
Remove the chicken from the pan and let the liquid boil for 1 to 2 extra minutes until it reduces. For a richer finish, turn off the heat and whisk in a tiny, 5-gram piece of cold butter.
Chicken not browning?
You likely crowded the pan or didn't dry the meat enough. Moisture is the enemy of a good sear! Always pat your chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning.
