Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium zucchinis sliced into half-moons
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
  4. Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely browned.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken alongside the sautéed zucchini and garnish with fresh parsley.
