Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Green Goddess Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley

  • 1/4 cup fresh chives

  • 2 tbsp fresh tarragon (or basil as substitute)

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 garlic clove

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prep the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the chicken thighs.

  • Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and nicely charred.

  • Make the Sauce: In a blender or food processor, blend all Green Goddess ingredients until smooth and creamy.

  • Serve: Plate the grilled chicken and drizzle with the sauce. Add a fresh side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes beforehand for extra flavor.

  • Sauce keeps in the fridge for 3 days—great for dipping veggies or spreading on sandwiches!

  • Use skin-on thighs for more flavor if you like a bit of crisp.
