A quick and easy dinner featuring boneless skinless chicken thighs coated in a crispy garlic and parmesan crust, perfect for a flavorful and fuss-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 60g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper per side).
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, grated parmesan, minced garlic, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Coat each chicken thigh evenly in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the parmesan sticks well. Shake off excess flour but keep a good layer on.
  4. Heat a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter. Let the butter melt and foam but avoid browning it too much.
  5. Place the coated chicken thighs in the skillet without crowding. Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving them to build a golden crust.
  6. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 5-6 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C) and crust is golden brown.
  7. Transfer the chicken to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil and keep the crust crisp. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before dredging to ensure crispiness. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the garlic and parmesan crust. Rest chicken after cooking to keep crust crisp. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour. Butter is optional but adds richness and helps browning.
