If you’re in a crunch for dinner, this Last Minute Chicken Recipe is what you need! Since chicken is one of my family’s favorite proteins, I always keep it stocked in my freezer and some fresh in my fridge too. That’s why I’m loving this Last Minute Chicken Recipe out of my friend Mary’s new cookbook, “The Weekday Lunches & Breakfasts Cookbook.” The chicken ready in about 15 minutes and goes perfectly with just about any side dish, in salads, sandwiches or just by itself!
Last Minute Chicken Recipe:
Start with fresh boneless skinless chicken thighs. Boneless skinless chicken breasts would also work with this recipe!
Combine all the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle on both sides of the chicken.
You can cook the chicken on a grill pan, over a traditional grill or even in your oven!
This chicken is ready in about 15 to 20 minutes!
The recipe makes 3 pounds of chicken, but if you’re just serving for a smaller family, you can scale back the amount of chicken and seasoning you use. This recipe calls for paprika or smoked paprika. I love the smoky flavor that you get when you use the smoked paprika, but if you’re wanting to keep this recipe pretty basic for everyday use, I would stick with regular paprika.

Grill Pan Directions:
Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle with the olive oil. Place half the chicken in the grill pan, making sure there is a gap between the pieces.
