Simple Pan-Fried Boneless Chicken Thighs or Breasts

Here's an easy way to fry up some of that lovely pastured chicken from Stice Family Farm! This is a very simple recipe with just basic ingredients that you can find at the local grocery store. 

Serves: 4

Time: 30 minutes active

Ingredients

• 3 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
• Half a lemon
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 pastured boneless chicken thighs or breasts
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

1. Place the thighs on a plate, sprinkle on thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and olive oil, and massage into thighs.
2. Place a cast iron pan over medium heat, add 2 tbsp butter. 
3. When hot, add the thighs.
4. Cook, flipping occasionally, until nearly done and internal temperature reads 150 degrees F. If pan seems to be drying out, add the remaining 1 T of butter. At some point you may also want to add a splatter screen or paper towel to the top of the pan to keep grease from splattering.
5. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the chopped garlic and honey. Cook until internal temp reads 165 degrees F.
