Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the lemon garlic marinade over the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

The history of Pan-Seared Boneless Chicken Thighs with a lemon garlic marinade can be traced back to the Mediterranean region, where the combination of citrus and garlic has long been a staple in culinary traditions. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Ina Garten have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The succulent chicken thighs are marinated in a zesty blend of fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and aromatic herbs, then seared to golden perfection in a hot skillet. The result is a mouthwatering dish that bursts with vibrant flavors and tender juiciness. For the best version of this dish, head to acclaimed Mediterranean restaurants or try making it at home with high-quality ingredients. The key to getting it right lies in the balance of tangy citrus, pungent garlic, and the perfect sear on the chicken. Whether served with a side of roasted vegetables or a bed of fluffy couscous, this dish is a delightful showcase of Mediterranean-inspired culinary artistry.
