👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep jars: Sterilize 4 pint jars and lids in boiling water. Keep warm until ready.
2. Mix marinade: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice/zest, garlic, Parmesan, herbs, salt, and pepper.
3. Layer chicken: Place chicken thighs in jars, then pour marinade over them. Use a chopstick to remove air bubbles. 💡Leave 1-inch headspace—marinade expands!
4. Can it: Process jars in a pressure canner at 11 psi for 90 mins. 💡 No canner? Marinate chicken overnight and freeze for 3 months!
