Directions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

Add butter, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and rosemary to the pan. Stir gently until the butter melts and the sauce becomes aromatic.

Spoon the buttery lemon sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
