Lime Garlic Chicken
Ingredients
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, leaves only
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon adobo with pepper
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Prep
- Remove thyme leaves from stems; set aside.
- Chop shallot.
Steps
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place butter in pan, then add shallots and garlic; cook and stir 2–3 minutes or until garlic begins to soften.
- Season both sides of chicken with adobo. Arrange chicken in pan; cook 4–5 minutes, without turning, or until lightly browned.
- Turn chicken; add broth, lime juice, and thyme leaves. Reduce heat to medium and cover; cook and stir 5–7 minutes or until chicken is 165°F.
- Remove chicken from pan; cover to keep warm. Increase heat to medium-high; cook sauce 4–5 minutes (uncovered) or until sauce begins to thicken. Return chicken to pan, turning to coat with sauce, and serve.
