Chicken Thighs with Lemon, Garlic & Thyme ~ are roasted in a bath of lemon juice, white wine, and chicken broth and is easily prepared in one baking dish. These thighs always turn out super moist, juicy and lemony-delicious!
I haven’t made chicken in a while and since it’s been raining my husband suggested to make use of the oven.
So instead of grilling the chicken outside, I decided to roast the thighs with everything, all 6 ingredients, including cloves of garlic and fresh thyme. Simple ingredients are what make these chicken thighs so flavorful. Roasting everything together in the oven is definitely an advantage, as it freed up my time to get other things done. A blessing in disguise!
Plus, while the chicken was roasting, I quickly made my Oven Steak Fries, threw those in the oven as well and served them as a side. Dinner was complete in less than an hour. Perfect for a week night!
You can also serve these roasted chicken thighs with our favorite Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Oven Baked Parsnip Fries, or Sweet Mashed Potatoes with Mascarpone Cheese and a green salad.
No matter which side dish you serve them with, when you serve these chicken thighs, remember to pour the remaining lemon juices over them, making the thighs taste even more flavorful.
The best part of roasting in the oven? These Chicken Thighs with Lemon, Garlic & Thyme create a wonderful aroma that permeates throughout the house, bringing everyone to the table with an appetite.
ENJOY!!

March 27, 2017 at 6:53 pmI smiled as I know my husband would enjoy this meal immensely. With all that flavorful sauce, I think I would like to have some garlic mashed potatoes and drizzle some on top of them.
