Maybe the Roasted Balsamic Chicken with Cranberries - seems sort of seasonal and wintery, perfect for January. Or maybe the Butter Chicken - one of my daughter's faves, and I don't have a perfect recipe for making it at home. Hmmmm ... decisions, decisions ....

Pan-roasted lemon chicken thighs are juicy and delicious! This easy recipe cooks in one skillet with a garlicky olive-oil and lemon marinade.

Pan-Roasted Lemon Chicken Thighs with Rosemary

lemons

kosher salt

Maras

red chili

garlic

chopped aromatic fresh herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, marjoram

¾ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 6 pieces)

Grate the zest of the whole lemon into a large bowl, then slice it in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl (You should have enough juice to make a ¼ cup. If not, squeeze in half of a second lemon). Slice the remaining ½ lemon into thin half moons, then set them aside.

Add the salt, olive oil, chili pepper, garlic and herbs to the bowl and whisk together. Put the chicken in the bowl, turning the pieces around to coat in the marinade. At this point you can cook the chicken right away. Otherwise marinate 15-30 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.

Arrange oven rack six inches from heat source and preheat the broiler.

Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or other oven-proof skillet large enough to hold the chicken without crowding, over medium-high heat on the stovetop. When the pan is hot, drizzle in enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Add the chicken pieces to the pan, reserving the marinade.

Cook 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken begins to brown. Take the pan off the heat and turn the chicken pieces over. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, tuck the lemon slices in and around the pan and place under the broiler. Cook until the chicken is firm and golden and lemon slices begin to brown, about 5 more minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and pour the pan juices over. Garnish the dish with fresh herb sprigs, if desired.
