In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the cilantro lime sauce.

Whisk until well combined and set aside.

Liberally season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Once the skillet is warm, add the chicken thighs and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Pour the cilantro lime sauce over the chicken thighs in the skillet.

Allow the sauce to simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the chicken thighs in the sauce until they are well coated.

Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot.

Enjoy your zesty cilantro lime skillet chicken!
