Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter divided
  • 4-6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 8 cloves garlic diced
  • 1 ½ tbsp blackening seasoning
  • ½ cup cilantro diced
  • ½ cup low sodium chicken stock

Instructions

  • Heat heavy skillet or pan on medium high heat.
  • Add 1/2 butter, let melt (but NOT brown)
  • Add chicken thighs, let brown to a deep golden brown on each side, flipping after about 3 minutes.
  • Remove chicken thighs from pan when browned on each side (not fully cooked through), set aside.
  • Add other 1/2 butter and garlic to pan.
  • Let garlic brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add cilantro, blackening seasonings, stir and heat 1 minute.
  • Add stock, let boil and reduce slightly - about 2 minutes.
  • Add chicken back to pan and let cook rest of the way to 165 internal temp while sauce reduces, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
