Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½– 2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Heat your nonstick grill pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes to preheat.
- While you are preheating your grill pan, make the seasoning blend.
- In a small bowl stir together 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Set this aside.
- Next, coat the boneless skinless chicken thighs with olive oil.
- I will pour 1 Tablespoon over the tops and rub them in, then flip the chicken over and pour 1 Tablespoon over the bottoms and rub it in.
- Using a ¼ teaspoon, sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of the seasoning blend on each top and bottom of each chicken thigh. If you have left overs go back and sprinkle more on some of the larger ones or on areas the seasoning missed to get them coated.
- Place the chicken in the preheated grill pan, laying them out as flat as you can. Cook for 8 minutes.
- After 8 minutes, flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 7 minutes.
- Begin checking the internal temperature of the smaller thighs around 5 minutes after the flip to see if they are 165°F. Once the thickest part of the chicken thigh reaches 165°F remove from the grill pan and allow the chicken to rest on a plate while the remaining pieces finish cooking.
