Skillet Cilantro Lime Chicken Thighs

There’s just something magical about the flavors of Cilantro and Lime. Normally you would find these ingredients in some sort of Mexican dish like these nachos or these burrito bowls that I made recently.

Well since I’ve been on such a kick making chicken in a skillet lately, I decided to flavor it up with some Cilantro and Lime! So yummy!

The flavor of the Cilantro and Lime just soaks into the chicken and is so incredibly juicy you’ll want to drink the sauce right out of the pan…I don’t advise doing this out of a hot pan.

So if you guys have been following my blog lately it might seem like I make a lot of chicken, well yes – yes I do. I love chicken, it’s so easy to cook and prepare a quick easy meal with.

My son has also noticed I’ve been making a lot of chicken, because I always get that pre-teen *sigh* ‘oh we’re having chicken again’?! But after he starts eating this Cilantro Lime Chicken, he’s like eating this so fast and then wanting seconds…ha – mom wins again!

Here’s what I love about this dish:

  • It’s super easy to make. You only have to use 1 skillet (make sure it’s oven proof – I recommend a cast iron skillet).
  • Easy cleanup – because you only use 1 pan. Love this part!
  • This is a cheap dinner to make, chicken thighs are generally low in cost and I try to get them on sale as well.
  • The flavors of the Cilantro and Lime are soaked into the chicken for uber juicy flavor!
  • It’s kid friendly, well at least that’s what my son says!

Lots of great flavors and uncomplicasted ingredients – my favorite combination! Thanks so much for sharing. I look forward to trying more of your recipes!
