Description

Chicken thigh fillet is a premium cut from Greek farms prized for its rich flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. It is the thigh meat stripped of bone and skin, making it the juiciest part of the bird due to slightly higher fat content compared to the breast.

This cut retains moisture exceptionally well, rendering it ideal for versatile cooking methods such as grilling, baking, pan-searing, or slow cooking.

Nutritionally, chicken thigh fillet is a great source of high-quality protein along with essential minerals like iron and zinc that support immunity and overall health.

Its texture and flavor profile elevate everyday dishes, making it suitable for recipes like skewers, sautéed dishes, oven roasts, or stews where a tender, flavorful meat is desired.

This cut is especially favored in Greek cuisine for making succulent souvlaki or tender baked dishes thanks to its balance of richness and lean protein, providing a delicious, satisfying experience.

Tommy's Tips

It is important to sear the chicken well to lock in the juices and achieve a nice crust.
Use fresh herbs like oregano, thyme, or parsley for vibrant flavor and aroma.
Avoid overcooking to keep the fillet juicy and tender.
Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and fresh salad.
You can add a touch of honey or mustard to the sauce for a sweet and tangy note.
Searing seals the meat’s moisture and creates appealing texture.
Fresh herbs elevate the dish with natural fragrant notes.
Careful cooking ensures softness without dryness, balancing flavors with a sweet-tangy sauce finish that complements the chicken perfectly.

Cooking Tips

Chicken thigh fillet is ideal for cooking in a pot or pan, where it stays juicy and tender.
Sauté the pieces in olive oil with salt and freshly ground pepper until they develop a beautiful golden color.
Add onions, peppers, and garlic, sauté for a few minutes, then deglaze with white wine and add chicken broth.
Let it simmer gently for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce thickens.
Finally, add chopped oregano, lemon juice and zest, and fresh cream cheese for a creamy texture.

This technique locks in the juices while creating deep layers of flavor, enhanced by fresh herbs and the bright citrus notes from lemon.

The cream cheese adds richness and a velvety mouthfeel, making the dish comforting and flavorful.
