Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 zucchinis, sliced into rounds
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rub chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, dried oregano, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 20–30 minutes.
  2. In a hot skillet, sear the chicken skin-side down until golden and crispy. Flip and transfer to a 400°F oven. Roast for 20–25 minutes.
  3. In another skillet, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add zucchini and yellow squash rounds. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cook until just tender.
  4. Plate the sautéed lemon zucchini on a serving platter. Top with roasted chicken thighs and drizzle with pan juices.
  5. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken enhances the asado flavor profile.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing to maintain crispiness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • This dish is naturally low in carbs, making it a great keto-friendly option.
