→ Main Ingredients

3 tbsp melted ghee

½ cup white wine (dry)
→ Seasonings & Aromatics
05 -
Pinch of flaky sea salt
06 -
Lemon zest from 1 fresh lemon
07 -
Ground pepper, as much as you like
08 -
½ lemon, cut into thin slices
09 -
2 teaspoons of dried oregano leaves
# Instructions:
01 -
Using high heat, get a heavy pan hot, then toss in the ghee until completely melted and glossy.
02 -
Completely dry the chicken using paper towels first. Then sprinkle a generous amount of salt and ground pepper all over.
03 -
Put the chicken thighs into the hot skillet. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them to build a golden, crispy crust. Flip over and repeat, then turn heat to medium.
04 -
Add in the chopped garlic and stir continuously to keep it from browning too much. Sprinkle the lemon zest on top of the chicken.
05 -
Once the garlic softens and smells fantastic (but doesn’t burn), pour in the white wine, throw in the lemon slices, and shake on the oregano. Keep cooking until the sauce tightens up and meat’s internal temperature reads 165°F.
06 -
Take the chicken out and set on a plate, pairing it up with some grilled veggies. Spoon the sauce on top, and serve it however you love—perfect for wraps, tacos, salads, or prepping meals ahead.
