This recipe becomes regular on my weeknight menu. Around here chicken makes a regular appearance on the dinner table. My family never gets tired of chicken. To tell you the truth, it gets a little boring for me after a while to cook it over and over.
I used skinless and boneless chicken thighs in this chicken skillet recipe because they are the most flavorful part of the chicken. A boneless chicken thigh gives you the same ease of cooking as a boneless chicken breast and less of a chance of drying out. Besides, chicken thighs are very juicy and tender.
Chicken thighs are tasty and relatively cheap, they are perfect for a family dinner. I love boneless and skinless chicken thighs. They are so tasty and really easy to cook!
So I’m always looking for new recipes of grilled chicken, baked chicken, sautéed chicken… Make it once and see for yourself.
