Honey-Lemon Chicken

Chicken is one of the most popular meats in the world and most of the time people tend to overcook it. I wanna share one of my many favorite ways of keeping it moist, but also giving it a nice flavor to it. The best thing about this dish...it only uses 4 ingredients. This dish is great for families or just when you have a large group of people over at your home/apartment. 



















Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time:  15 minutes

Ingredients
1. Chicken Thighs
2. 1 Lemon finely sliced
3. 3-4 tbsp of Olive oil
4. 3 tbsp on Honey
5. Parsley

Directions

1. Bring your heavy skillet up to medium to high heat. Season your chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Once your pan becomes nice and hot, drizzle in your olive oil and lay the chicken skin side down. You want to get some nice crisp browning on your chicken skins. Make sure to shake the pan so the chicken doesn't stick. Cook each side for about 6 to 7 minutes. If you cut up your chicken thighs into smaller pieces it'll cook even faster

2. Once the first side is done cooking turn the thighs over. Get your Lemon and finely slice it up. Throw in your lemon slices and squeeze in some fresh lemon juice to give it some acidity. Get a cup of water and pour it in the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes. The water helps the chicken so it doesn't become dry.

3. In the last 2 minutes of cooking throw in your chopped parsley and drizzle in your Honey to give it a nice sticky and tangy flavor. Toss it around so the chicken thighs can get a even coating of that honey lemon sauce. Lastly season it up with some salt and pepper. Now serve that baby up!

Not Fast. Easy. and Simply Delicious
