Lemon Paprika Chicken Thighs

So if you guys haven’t noticed lately, I’ve been all about making stuff in my cast iron skillet. It just makes cooking so much easier when you can transfer the skillet from stovetop to oven while cooking in it.

It really makes putting dinner on the table much quicker + less cleanup! I mean really, do you like doing lots of dishes? Yep didn’t think so! Ok so let’s dig into this Lemon Paprika Chicken recipe, it takes about 30 minutes to make… Ready, Set, Go!

The key to getting the most flavor out of this dish is to marinade the chicken for at least 4 hours. You can do less if you’re in a hurry, but I recommend at least 4 hours.

You could even marinade a little longer then 4 hours, as in put the chicken and marinade in a ziploc bag and throw it in the fridge before going to work. Then when you get home you can whip up this quick dish in about 30 minutes! Yay!

I recommend a Cast-Iron Skillet.

Here’s what I love about this dish:

-The marinade is homemade, easy to put together, and healthy. (Store bought marinades are usually full of sodium and other bad stuff that you can’t pronounce)

-The flavor of the marinade is so good, it soaks into all of the chicken and keeps it moist when cooking.

-After you marinade the chicken, it only takes about 30 minutes to cook!

-This dish only requires 1 pan, so that means less dishes! Yesssss!

-It’s kid friendly, just ask my 12 year old picky eater son! I got a 2 thumbs up from him!
