If there's one cut of chicken I reach for over and over again, it's boneless chicken thighs. They're juicy, packed with flavor, and forgiving to cook, unlike chicken breasts, they stay juicy even if you leave them on the heat a little too long. That makes them perfect for everything from a quick skillet dinner to a slow cooker meal that does the work for you.
