Ingredients

4 chicken thighs boneless and skinless
salt and pepper to taste
5 tbsp olive oil divided
2 garlic cloves minced
2 lemons juiced and zested
1/4 cup fresh dill fine chopped, divided
3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp Greek yogurt

Instructions

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, combine 4 tbsp. olive oil, garlic cloves, lemons (zest and juice), dill (reserve some for decorating), honey, cumin powder, and paprika.
Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and let them marinade for at least 2 hours.
When ready to cook, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a non-stick skillet to medium-high. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, shaking the liquid off and sear until golden brown on both sides (around 5 minutes per side).
Lower the temperature to medium and continue cooking the chicken for 10-20 more minutes, or until it’s well done.
While the chicken is cooking, bring another skillet to medium heat and add the rest of the marinade. Once it starts to get hot, turn the temperature off and add the Dijon Mustard and Greek Yogurt and mix well, until you get a creamy consistency.
Slice the chicken and serve with the sauce and some extra dill.
