Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Generously sprinkle salt, pepper, dried thyme, and rosemary on both sides of the boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Let the seasoned chicken sit for a few minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium-high until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Carefully place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet and melt. Add 6 minced garlic cloves and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add halved baby potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the garlic butter mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  6. Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet with the potatoes and squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Cover and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and potatoes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
