Paprika Lime Chicken Thighs

I’ve been in Laredo for a week and a half now and I’ve been loving this extra time with my family! While being here, I’ve been making my own lunches and dinners. My momma had extra chicken thighs on hand, so I decided to put make some paprika lime chicken thighs and they came out delicious and crispy! Honestly, I never measure anything when I’m cooking. I made them again this week and measured everything that way I could share the recipe with you guys!

You only need a few ingredients for this recipe, which you probably already have on hand. You know what else is awesome about this recipe? It’s Whole30 compliant! I’ll making these on repeat when I start my Whole30 next week. These are a great option to make for meal prep! You can have these with some roasted veggies or some cauliflower rice. I have a super yummy cilantro lime cauliflower rice recipe coming to you all soon! Lastly, I sprinkled some chopped cilantro all over. YUM!
