- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 ½ pounds)
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- fresh chopped parsley (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Remove any extra fat from the chicken thighs. In a small bowl mix together paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Rub on the chicken so it is well coated on all sides.
Add the olive oil to a large non stick frying or cast iron pan on medium heat. Let the pan get hot for about a minute. Place the chicken thighs flat in the pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until chicken is golden brown. Flip chicken pieces and cook for another 8-10 minutes or until chicken in cooked through and juices run clear. The chicken should be at 170 degrees when using an instant read thermometer.
Remove from pan and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
