6 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, leaves only
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon adobo with pepper
  • 1 ¾ cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Prep

    • Remove thyme leaves from stems; set aside.
    • Chop shallot.

Steps

    1. 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.
    2. Season both sides of chicken with adobo. Arrange chicken in pan; cook 4–5 minutes, without turning, or until lightly browned.
    3. Turn chicken; add broth, lime juice, and thyme leaves. Reduce heat to medium and cover; cook and stir 5–7 minutes and until chicken is 165°F.
    4. 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.
