Ingredients

  • ½ cup Challenge Garlic Parmesan with Herbs Butter Snack Spread, divided
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs
  • ¼ cup chopped green olives
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley, for serving

  • 1

    Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. When hot, lightly oil grates. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess, and place on grates. Grill, flipping 2-3 times, until edges begin to char and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the meat, 10-12 minutes.
