Chicken Thighs in Decadent Garlic Lemon Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • ½ cup Chopped sweet pepper, orange, red, yellow or combination
  • 3 Tablespoons Cooking Oil or Olive Oil
  • 1 Head Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Oregano
  • ½ Teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 Large (or 2 small) Lemons, juiced
  • ½ Cup Water
  • 1 Handful Fresh Parsley
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350. Saute the onion in the oil until translucent. Cut the garlic in half horizontally and place both halves cut side down in the pan. Add the peppers and cook 2-3 minutes more.
  2. Make a space in the pan so the chicken thighs are touching the bottom but leave the onions and peppers in the pan.
  3. Cook on medium heat about 5 minutes till browned lightly. Stir in the lemon juice, then the water and scrape any bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika.
  4. If the pan you cooked it in is oven safe, you can go ahead and place in the oven. Otherwise, carefully transfer the chicken and all the juices to an oven safe dish and place in the oven.
  5. Cook for 30 minutes. Chop the parsley and stir in with the chicken and sauce. Serve with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
