Cooking TIme
20 minutes
Ingredients
- 7 boneless chicken thighs (skin on or off, your choice)
- 150g Kerrygold® Irish Creamery Butter 454g
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Small bunch of parsley, finely chopped
- 100g fresh breadcrumbs
- lemons, for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Melt your butter and add it to a shallow bowl. Mix in crushed garlic and half of the chopped parsley. Keep some of the melted butter mix aside in another dish for serving.
- In another shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter to a large fry pan. Turn the heat to medium-high.
- Dredge each chicken thigh in the melted butter, followed by the fresh breadcrumbs.
- Lay each piece of chicken in the skillet. Cook on the first side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 73c in the thickest part.
- Slice the cooked chicken, pile it onto a serving platter, and serve with the rest of the melted butter and sprinkle with rest of the parsley. Garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
