🧈 Ingredients (Makes 4 Pint Jars)
- 3 lbs boneless chicken thighs (trimmed and halved)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated for best flavor!)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (+ zest of 1 lemon)
- 2 tbsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes for heat 🌶️
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep jars: Sterilize 4 pint jars and lids in boiling water. Keep warm until ready.
- Mix marinade: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice/zest, garlic, Parmesan, herbs, salt, and pepper.
- 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!
- Can it: Process jars in a pressure canner at 11 psi for 90 mins. 💡 No canner? Marinate chicken overnight and freeze for 3 months!
