I made this lemon butter chicken recipe tonight.

Oh, my!  It was soooooo good!

LEMON BUTTER CHICKEN

YIELD: 8 SERVINGS

 

PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES

 

COOK TIME: 40 MINUTES

TOTAL INGREDIENTS:

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 cups baby spinach, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Season chicken thighs with paprika, salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; drain excess fat and set aside.
4. Melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon juice and thyme.
5. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, stir in spinach, and simmer until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet.
6. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.
7. Serve immediately

I used boneless breasts and added red potatoes.

I would say it's more like 4 servings, rather than 8, but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. 

I highly recommend it.

That looks really yummy. And I like that you can do it in under an hour.

Wish this was posted earlier as I was looking for a new recipe using chicken thighs.  This looks delicious so I'll definitely be making it.

P.s.  I do thank you for posting.

This looks positively yummy!  I was just thinking the other day that I need more chicken recipes in my dinner rotation and this looks like it will really be a delicious new addition!

Thank you!

@Nightowlz  thanks for the recipe.  May try it one of these nights.  Never met a chicken I didn't like.
