    Season w/ Garlic Powder, Paprika and Cumin.

    Brown in a skillet

    Add a can of diced tomatoes, a small diced onion and a couple of stalks of chopped celery.

    Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for ~20 minutes

    In the last few minutes add a chopped Bell Pepper (I prefer them still a little crispy)

    Serve over steamed rice.

    You may eat skin off of course.

    Skinnytaste pollo sabroso. The only thing I do differently than double the recipe(cuz my fam devours these!) is add some spiced rum or tequila to the marinade as well as fresh lime or lemon juice. it rocks.
    I also use thighs for just about any recipe that calls for breast meat.

    Thank you @gaelowyn_pt_duex ! This will be on next weeks dinner list :)

    Lots of good ideas :)

    Sometimes I make my own marinades, but for quick and easy chicken or just thighs (which I did last night), I use KC Masterpiece marinades. I make a couple slashed in each piece, put them into a zip bag, and pour over enough marinade to coat the thighs. Marinate for a minimum of 3 hours and geill. Delicious.

    I made the honey teriyaki yesterday, but I also like the lemon pepper and southwestern chipotle ones.

    Thanks for the idea Tina! @tinascar2015 or anyone :) How do you count the marinade? I've never used it as I wasn't sure.

    Thanks :)

    That's impossible to count exactly. Some is thrown out. You could measure it when you marinate the chicken and measure what's left when you remove it from the bag. I let the raw marinated chicken sit on a plate while the grill is heating and a fair amount seeps out. The only marinade you can't measure is what goes in the drip pan, which also jncludes meat juices.

    In other words, I budget for one or two tablespoons for a thigh

    I wondered if that might be the situation, thank you for clarifying @tinascar2015 :)

    I absolutely adore Penzey's Fox Pointe seasoning. We have a store locally, but you can also buy their spices online.

    Love love love Penzey's. Good idea!

    Not sure how much effort you want to put in it, but I used this recipe in the crock pot the other day - http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/06/chicken-cacciatore-43-pts.html I used skinless, boneless thighs. It came out really well and was pretty simple. The only thing I might change is to not add the chicken broth. It's a little too liquidy when it's done in the slow cooker, might be different if you follow the original directions.

    Sounds tasty!!

    OH! I so need to invest in a cast iron skillet or any type I can put in the oven... what are you all using in regards to a oven proof pan when you have to finish it off in the oven?

    This is effort, but seriously YUM. Adapted from Momofuku recipe. Take 1T sugar and add 1T mirin and 1 T sake, bring to a simmer until sugar melts. Take 1/4 cup miso paste (any kind but real miso, not the dried packets), put in bowl, with shakes of siracha, hot chili paste, and Asian sesame oil, each to taste. Mix with the HOT sugar water until smooth. When cooled, add in your chicken thighs, and marinate in the fridge from 1/2-3 days (I'm serious! It'll still smell great-- I think the miso keeps it fresh). Then BBQ or grill or broil. Unbelievable.

    Chicken with Rice in one pot

    Ingredients

    1 pound of chicken thighs boneless/skinless
    1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
    1 medium onion
    3 carrots
    2 cloves of garlic
    1 1/2 cups of rice (I used organic basmati)
    salt
    pepper
    2 cups of water

    Directions:

    1. Cut 1 pound of chicken thighs into smaller pieces.

    2. In a medium sized pot or shallow pan heat 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil.

    3. Place chicken thigh pieces into the heating oil. Add in a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 7 minutes.

    4. Chop 1 medium sized onion and add to the chicken. Sauté for another 3 minutes.

    5. Chop or grate 3 medium carrots, add to the onion. Turn the heat to the lowest.

    6. Peel 2 cloves of garlic, add the whole 2 cloves to the chicken. (you can take the garlic out after cooking, if you don’t like to eat it)

    7. Add 2 cups of water.

    8. Taste the water! This is where you want to make sure you have enough seasoning. I added 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Add to your own taste.

    9. Wash 1 1/2 cups of rice. Using a strainer was the rice until water pours clear.

    10. Add the rice to the chicken, don’t need to stir.

    11. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Give it a gentle stir and simmer for another 10 minutes. There should be no water left when done.
