What to serve with cilantro lime chicken 

Cilantro lime chicken thighs are perfect with a hunk of crusty bread of rice or grains. 

If you’re a potato person, you can’t go wrong with Greek potatoes. And if you’re looking for something green that goes well with baked chicken thighs, try baked zucchini, roasted cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts. 

Ingredients 

600 gram chicken thighs

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp garlic

1/2 cup white wine

1/4 cup lime juice

1 tbsp beef broth

1/2 cups water

8 grams cilantro

1 tbsp greek seasonings

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tsp curry powder

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the spices. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season each thigh on both sides with the spice mix. Be sure to season underneath the skin as well. Let the chicken thighs sit in room temperature for about 15 minutes. When ready, heat 1-2 tbsp of olive oil in a cast iron skillet with a lid like this one. Brown the chicken thighs deeply on both sides in the heated oil. Remove from skillet and set aside briefly. Lower the heat and deglaze the skillet with the white wine. Let cook to reduce and then add the broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer then add lime juice and garlic. Now return the chicken to the skillet; and toss in the cilantro. Bring to a high simmer for about 5 minutes or so. Cover and transfer to the 375-degree F-heated oven for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with more cilantro, if you like.
