Buttery Lemon Chicken

Buttery Lemon Chicken



Ingredients

1-1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs – trim off excess fat as much as possible
2 Tbsp grass fed butter (I used Kerrygold salted butter)
1 lemon (use whole lemon zest, but only use 1/2 of the lemon for the juice)
Salt and pepper
1-2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 chopped onion
2 green onion stalks – chopped – separate the white and the green parts



Directions:

1. Leave the butter on the counter until it reaches room temperature
2. Grate the whole lemon to get the outer rinds
3. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
4. Squeeze some lemon juice over the softened butter and lemon zest – mix until everything combines
5. Mix the butter-lemon mixture over the chicken – topped with the chopped onions & the white parts of the green onions
6. Preheat the oven to 400deg;F – Bake for about 40 minutes. Flip around halfway.
7. 15 minutes before the end, change the setting to broil to brown the meat
8. Topped with the remaining green onions
