Ingredients
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
FOR THE LEMON GARLIC SAUCE: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan + 1 tablespoon to garnish
