LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS 
For 4 servings you will need:

8 chicken thighs
1 onion, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp. dried or 1 tbsp. fresh basil, minced
parsley (for garnish)
White pepper
10 cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. olive oil

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, sauté chicken thighs and chopped onion over moderately high heat in a tablespoon of olive oil and garlic. Do not allow the garlic to become brown (remove it before it browns after crushing it into the oil).

Turn chicken after 15 minutes to brown the other side. Reduce heat to very low and cover. Cook for another 15 minutes.

Add lemon juice (a little bit of the yellow portion of the lemon peel may be grated into the pot for extra flavor). Add thyme leaves and basil, white pepper (you may use black if white pepper is not available), cherry tomatoes.

Cover. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes over very low heat until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear (no longer pink). After the tomatoes are added, boil the pasta in a separate pot following directions on box.

GOOD SERVED WITH: This chicken calls for a good spaghetti cooked al denté and then tossed with butter, chopped parsley, and sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese. A lettuce salad with an oil and vinegar Vinaigrette and a crusty bread completes the menu.

Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs

 CM (South Carolina) says:
This is a simple recipe that I found looking for a way to cook chicken thighs. I know thighs are flavorful, but I usually use breasts. I bought one pack of thighs along with several packages of breasts and thawed the thighs by mistake today. I searched and found something that matched the ingredients I had on hand. It turned out well, and we enjoyed it.
