Recipes for thighs ?

Would love to hear your recipes for boneless/skinless chicken thighs.
Got a bag & don't know what to do with them.

Thanks for all replies,

Susan O'

I have substituted boneless, skinless thighs in any recipe that calls for boneless, skinless breasts. My pouch likes thigh meat better than breast meat.

Dear Susan:

Here are four easy ways to make yummy chicken thighs.  I have tried the first one and it was AWESOME.....The rest are on my list to try.


This calls for one package of boneless chicken thighs at 5 to a package.

Brown thighs in a skillet coated with Pam, skillet needs to have a cover.

Add 8-10 oz. of chicken broth or 1 c of wine (any color works well) and your choice of the following:

1.    Taco seasoning and one can of black or kidney beans.  Serve with salsa, FF sour cream and FF cheddar cheese.

OR

2.    White chilli seasoning and one can of great northern beans, put 1/2 of the beans in a blender first then add with remaining beans to chicken.  This would be good with roasted veggies.

OR

3.    Fajitas seasoning.   Saute onions and peppers and add them at the very end.
Serve with Salsa, FF sour cream and FF cheddar

OR

1/4 c hot sauce.  Add 1/2 a block of cream cheese at the end.


Cover and let simmer on low for 45-60 minutes until the chicken falls apart. Shred chicken with fork. Don't open the lid often or you will dry out the chicken. When it shreds easily its done.

 

I just found this post but I was wondering what was the seasoning amounts? Thanks christine (internetnut)

Hi Christine!
The seasoning amounts is 1 package of each type.  Sorry about that......

Thank you! I just reran accross this post. Sorry about the delay. Christine (internetnut)

Can you handle garlic?  This is one of our favorites.

Chicken adobo

1 bag boneless skinless thighs
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 c dark soy sauce
1/2 c white vinegar
10 cloves fresh crushed garlic
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp ground ginger, or 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, depending on if you like heat

Lightly saute the chicken thighs in the sesame oil in a large pot.  While they're cooking, mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl.  Pour the sauce over the thighs and cover with a tight lid, cook at least 30 minutes on medium heat or until chicken is tender.  Stir the chicken around every once in a while so it all gets the yummy sauce on it. 

I serve it with a pack of the stir fry veggies that have soy beans in them, but I steam it instead of stir-frying, and the rest of the family gets jasmine rice with it as well.  The chicken sauce is great over the steamed veggies. 

I haven't made this yet, but it sounds so good! I plan to try it really soon.

Shaker-Style Smoked Chicken Thighs

Based on a recipe of the Shakers, a Quaker splinter group that flourished in the Eastern U.S. in the mid-19th century, this marinade derives its flavor from a hefty jolt of cider vinegar and lots of chopped shallots. Apple-wood chips are our first choice for smoking, but maple and hickory impart great flavor as well.

MAKES 4 SERVINGS Active Time: 40 minutes Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients 1/2 cup of cider vinegar 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt 1/4 cup of chopped shallot (about 2 medium) 2 cloves of garlic , chopped 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs , trimmed of fat 1 cup of wood chips , such as apple or hickory, in a foil pouch

Directions Whisk vinegar, oil and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in shallots and garlic. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to 3 hours. Prepare wood-chip packet (Photos 1, 2, 3). Place the packet under the grill racks. Preheat grill and packet until smoky (Photo 4). Transfer the chicken to the grill (Photo 5), allowing excess marinade to drip back into the bowl (discard marinade). Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Serve hot or chilled.

Make Ahead Tip: Marinate the chicken for up to 3 hours.
