CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CUMIN, GARLIC, LIME



CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CUMIN, GARLIC, LIME image

Categories     Chicken     Bake     Dinner

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoon minced garlic
3 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
4 (6-ounce) chicken thighs, skinned
6 tablespoons fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoon white vinegar
4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 lime wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon juice. Rub garlic mixture over chicken. Place chicken in a medium skillet. 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°. 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lime juice and garlic will give your chicken the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as good.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. If you overcook it, it will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Lime garlic chicken is best when it is served hot off the grill or out of the oven. If you let it sit for too long, the chicken will dry out and the flavors will fade.
  • Garnish the chicken with fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro or parsley will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Lime garlic chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Lime garlic chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, lime garlic chicken is a great option.
