Smoky Chicken Thighswith Green Goddess Sauce

In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with SpiceXseasoning Daily Blend, onion powder, smoked paprika, chicken seasoning, dried oregano, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.

While the chicken rests, prepare the Green Goddess sauce: place cilantro (full bunch), garlic clove, small onion, lime juice (1–2 tbsp), light mayonnaise, light sour cream, salt, pepper, optional honey, and 4 tbsp olive oil into a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, then set the sauce aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat (about 375°F/375°F). Add a little oil if the pan is dry, then add the seasoned chicken thighs.

Sear the thighs for 4–5 minutes on the first side, until a deep golden crust forms. Flip and sear the other side for another 4–5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F) and the meat is cooked through.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 2 minutes. Slice the thighs into strips.

Place the cooked white rice on a serving platter or individual plates, creating a bed for the chicken.

Arrange the sliced chicken strips over the rice, then drizzle the prepared Green Goddess sauce generously over the top.

If desired, add optional toppings: sliced cucumber, thinly sliced purple onion, diced avocado, and sliced jalapeños for extra crunch and heat.

Serve the dish immediately while the chicken is warm and the sauce is fresh.
