- 8 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 bunch cilantro, stems removed, chopped; more for garnish
Spice mix:
- 1 tbsp seasoned salt
- 1 tsp hot paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
Mix the spices in a small bowl. Pat the chicken thighs dry, and season evenly.
Heat 1-2 tbsp of olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Brown the chicken thighs deeply on both sides in the heated oil. Remove from the skillet and set aside briefly.
Lower the heat and deglaze the skillet with the white wine. Let cook to reduce and then add the broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer then add lime juice and garlic. Now return the chicken to the skillet and add the cilantro. Bring to a high-simmer for about 5 minutes or so.
Cover the skillet and bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with more cilantro.
