These flavorful garlic-and-lime chicken thighs are a delicious way to prepare an inexpensive cut of chicken. After the chicken is baked, it's removed from the pan, and the drippings are reduced on the stovetop to a slightly syrupy sauce that is then spooned over the thighs. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided |
4 (6-ounce) chicken thighs, skinned |
3 tablespoons fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1 tablespoon white vinegar |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro |
2 lime wedges |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon juice. Rub garlic mixture over chicken. Place chicken in a medium skillet.
3. Combine 1 tablespoon juice, chicken broth, and vinegar; pour over the chicken. Place over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Wrap handle of pan with foil. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 180°.
4. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Place pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 3 minutes). Spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
