Cilantro Lemon Chicken Thighs

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1.25lb Chicken Thighs, boneless

• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

• 2 lemons

• 1 1/2 tbsp avocado oil

• 2 tsp minced garlic

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• pink salt, pepper

*recommend serving it with rice and green beans

Instructions:

Place chicken thighs in a bowl and add cilantro, 1 tbsp lemon zest, juice of two lemons, avocado oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, pink salt and pepper. Toss around well and allow to marinate for minimum 30 minutes in the fridge — even better if all day (prepare before you leave for work). When ready, get a skillet or grill out and add in chicken. Cook on each side for 5 min or so on medium heat until nicely browned and cooked all the way through. These have so much flavor, would be great for prep as well, and perfect for spring/summer weather.
