Cilantro Lime Chicken

Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs*
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Directions
Preheat oven to 400° .
Combine paprika, garlic powder and onion powder together in a small bowl. Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper and seasonings.
Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat. Sear chicken flat side down for 4 minutes, turn and cook for another 3 minutes.
After chicken has been flipped and cooked for 2 minutes make a small space on the pan. Add a little more oil to sauté the garlic for 1 minute.
Pour in chicken broth and lime juice and season really well with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 2 minutes over medium heat.
Transfer to oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle over cilantro.

Note
*Substitute for bone in/skin on chicken thighs - bake for 10 minutes longer, 30 minutes total.
