  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Notes

  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite vegetables.
