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
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- mint leaves
Instructions
- Put the chicken in a baking dish. Add olive oil and yogurt. On top, sprinkle salt, pepper, cinnamon, garlic powder, and oregano. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the dish. Use clean hands or food safety gloves to mix everything well so the spices cover the chicken evenly. Place the chicken in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the chicken thighs uncovered for about 20 minutes, adjusting 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.
- Savor the deliciousness of chicken in so many delightful ways! The possibilities are endless, whether atop a fresh salad, nestled alongside creamy mashed potatoes, wrapped in a flavorful tortilla, paired with fluffy rice, or complemented by your favorite sides. Dive in and enjoy!
