Place a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil then heat until hot. Remove the chicken from the marinate shaking off moisture and carefully add to the hot skillet.

Sear the chicken on each side, 4 minutes or until browned. Add ½ cup broth to deglaze and pan, squeeze the juice of half a lime on top of the chicken and continue to cook the thighs for additional 2 minutes each side making sure thighs are coated with the pan sauce.
