Lemon Mint Chicken Thighs with Braised Cabbage

Chicken

Zest of 1 lemon

juice from two lemons

1/3 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh mint leaves

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon paprika, preferably hot

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1. Stir together the zest, lemon juice, half of the mint, half the garlic, the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.

2. Preheat the broiler. Place the chicken on the broiler pan and broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat, turning once, for about 7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and just cooked through.

3. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon mint and garlic, and serve.
