This easy Greek Chicken recipe is packed with Mediterranean flavors, perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a flavorful addition to any gathering.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs trimmed of excess fat
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon juice and zest
Instructions
- Place a piece of baking paper over the chicken thighs and gently pound them with a rolling pin or meat mallet until they are an even thickness.
- In a bowl, mix the chicken thighs with all the remaining ingredients. You can cook them right away or allow them to marinate for up to 24 hours to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 8 minutes, flipping it halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet to lift the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
