Chicken Thighs with Lemon Garlic & Thyme are roasted in a delicious broth made with lemon juice, white wine, and chicken stock and prepared in one baking dish. Simple, easy and tasty, these chicken thighs always turn out super moist, juicy, and lemony-delicious!
I haven’t made chicken in a while and decided to pick up a package of chicken thighs.
It’s been raining, so instead of grilling the chicken outdoors, I decided to roast these chicken thighs inside with only 6 main ingredients, including tossing some garlic cloves and fresh thyme into the mix.
And the result? They turned out amazing!!
This quick recipe features chicken thighs with plenty of broth and fresh herbs.
Besides, the juices or as some will call it -“the sauce” – is what makes them so darn flavorful.
Plus, I took the liberty to make Oven Steak Fries and threw those into the oven while the chicken was roasting and served them as a side dish to complement these chicken thighs.
Dinner was complete in less than an hour. Perfect for a weeknight meal!

The Best Part?
No matter which side dish you decide on to serve with these chicken thighs, always remember to pour the remaining lemon juices over the thighs.
The extra lemon juices will not only make the thighs positively amazing, but the side you choose to serve it with will become more flavorful. YUM!
