Here’s an excellent idea for a weeknight dinner: Lemon Herb Chicken Thighs!
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs chicken thighs (4) (boneless, skinless)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
- ½ tsp salt (to taste)
- ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 3 tsp dried oregano

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- mint leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Put the chicken in a baking dish and add olive oil and yogurt.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the dish. Sprinkle salt, pepper, cinnamon, garlic powder, and oregano on top.
- Use clean hands or food-safe gloves to mix everything well, ensuring the spices cover the chicken evenly.
- Place the chicken in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Bake the chicken thighs uncovered for about 20 minutes, adjusting the time as needed for size.
- They’re done when the meat thermometer reads 165°F in the thickest part. For added flavor, broil for a few minutes at the end, but watch to prevent burning. Garnish with torn mint leaves and enjoy!
- *This recipe makes two servings. Two marinaded, skinless, boneless chicken thighs per person.
