Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 lemon, sliced

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  3. Rub the chicken thighs with the lemon herb mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  5. Add the lemon slices around the chicken in the skillet.

  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

  8. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to add vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or asparagus to the pan for a complete meal.

  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.

  • If using boneless chicken, reduce cooking time to prevent overcooking.

  • This dish can be made ahead by marinating the chicken up to 24 hours in advance.
