Easiest Chicken Thighs Recipe With Broccoli Salad
Easiest Chicken Thighs Recipe With Broccoli Salad
"This skillet stove top cooked chicken thighs recipe and the raw broccoli salad combo has to be one of the best chicken thighs recipe you will ever try, it is simple to make, it’s healthy, so refreshing and absolutely delicious. The chicken thighs are perfectly golden, tender, juicy and I did cook them with the skin and bone on (only trimmed the extra fat that was visible), they make that perfect easy, quick and super delicious family meal. Perfect for a midweek quick lunch or dinner when time isn’t on our side (it never really is, is it? ) when you want something quick and the chicken sears nicely on the stove, while you make the nice and healthy broccoli salad to go on as a gorgeous side."
Notes• Once the chicken thighs have completely cooled transfer these either into an airtight container or in a freezer bag.
• Label the container or the bag with the date this was placed into the freezer, a name to know later what it is and place it in the freezer for up to 1 month.
