  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

  1. Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan
  • Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts
  • Taste before serving and adjust seasoning
