Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt optional
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 2 packets chicken broth concentrate reduced sodium

Instructions

  • Salt chicken thighs 30 minutes to 24 hours prior to cooking (optional).
  • Heat a large cooking pan on medium high with olive oil. You'll need a lid for this, but if you don't have one, a cookie sheet will do.
  • Pan-sear one side of the chicken thighs for 3-5 minutes. You want a nice golden brown color, but not too light. Flip, then squeeze the packets over chicken. Sear for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to simmer, cover with lid, Then leave for 15-20 minutes. Check the temperature with a thermometer to 165 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, you can cut a thigh open to see if the juices are running clear.
