Pan Seared Honey Lime Chicken Thighs Recipe

Looking for a quick, scrumptious chicken recipe? I’ve got one for you. The other day, I laid eyes on a pack of chicken thighs that I had in the freezer. Costco sells them in sealed twin packs. I defrosted them and then pulled out my cast iron skillet to get to work.

Ingredients

• Juice from 2 limes
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 4 to 5 chicken thighs 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

• In a small bowl, combine lime juice, honey, and soy sauce and set aside.
• Pull the skin back on chicken thighs and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 
• Heat olive oil in cast iron skillet on medium-high. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear for about 5 minutes or until skin gets golden brown.

• Flip chicken thighs over skin side up. Add the honey/lime/soy mixture to skillet. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 15 to 18 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. 
• After plating chicken, drizzle liquid from skillet over it.

Garnish with lime wedges.

Do you cook often with a cast iron skillet?

Which part of the chicken do you prefer?
