Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 243kcal
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp. olive oil 5g
- 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar* use a fruity one if you have it! (30g)
- 4 frozen garlic cubes or minced cloves
- 1/2 cup parsley chopped (15g)
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 2 tsp. basil paste or sub 1/4 cup fresh basil (10g)
- 1 tsp. paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim chicken thighs of unwanted fat. Whisk together the remaining ingredients, excluding the salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken and let it marinate for at least an hour, ideally, more if you have time!
- Pull your chicken out of the fridge 30-60 minutes before grilling to let it get close to room temp. Remove chicken from the marinade and sprinkle each side with a generous pinch of kosher salt and a little pepper. Cook on a preheated grill, indoor grill pan, or skillet over medium/high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temp reaches 165. You can also air fry at 400 for about 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
*Balsamic vinegar: You might notice I’m obsessed with my fruity vinegars from Baker and Olive, but I know they’re a specialty item and not everyone will have them! If you don’t, any balsamic vinegar works fine.
