Chicken Thighs with Lemon Garlic & Thyme. Delicious chicken thighs are roasted in a delicious broth made with lemon juice, white wine, and chicken stock and are easily prepared in one baking dish. A simple recipe, 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.
The result? They turned out amazing!!
This easy recipe features chicken thighs with plenty of broth and fresh herbs. And the juices or the sauce is what makes them so 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 aside.
Dinner was complete in less than an hour. Perfect for a weeknight meal!

March 26, 2017 at 2:20 amThank you Dan! You can use other herbs such as oregano or a blend of Italian seasonings, in place of thyme. Have a great weekend! 🙂
