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!

Chicken Thighs with Lemon Sauce…

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!!

The Lemon Sauce…

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. The lemon sauce consists of some broth, along with wine and lemon juice.

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. They both baked at the same time! Making dinner easier.

Dinner was completed in less than an hour.  Perfect for a weeknight meal!

How to Make Chicken Thighs with Lemon Garlic & Thyme?

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

Ingredients Needed:

• 6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1/3 cup lemon juice

Easy Step-by-Step Directions:

You can follow along with our step-by-step directions, or jump down to the bottom of this post for our full recipe card.

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190C) and on “ROAST.”

2.  Rinse the thighs in a large bowl with running water over them.   Drain the water.  Then rinse the chicken a few times until the water comes out clean.  Trim any excess fat from the thighs and discard. Allow them to drain in a colander.

3.  Place the thighs in an 8 x 11-inch deep baking dish.

4.  Pour in chicken broth, wine, and lemon juice.  Toss in garlic cloves and season the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle over the chicken with some olive oil.

5.  Toss in some sprigs of fresh thyme on top.

6.  Place the baking dish on the middle rack in the oven.  Roast the chicken, uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Then serve.

Serves 3 to 5

Quick Notes About Roasting:

• The cooking time will vary, depending on how small or large the thighs are. It could range from 45 minutes or longer. So it’s best to keep an eye on it while roasting.

• If you decide to “Bake” (rather than Roast) the thighs will take longer to cook, most likely over 1 hour or more.

Chicken Thighs with Lemon Garlic & Thyme will make an easy meal to get dinner on the table will little effort.

Best of all, this recipe will create a wonderful aroma that permeates throughout the house, bringing everyone to the table with an appetite. Perfect! 😉

Don’t forget dessert! Try an easy Lemon Pound Cake for something sweet and lemony at the end of your meal.

ENJOY!!
