Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.

Add Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

Sear the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Flip the chicken over and pour in the chicken broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
