Lemon Chicken Thighs are a flavorful dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for its bright citrus notes and tender, juicy meat. This dish typically features bone-in chicken thighs marinated in a blend of fresh lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and herbs like oregano or thyme, then baked or pan-seared to perfection. Rich in protein, chicken thighs provide essential amino acids and nutrients like vitamin B6 and phosphorus, while the olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Lemons contribute vitamin C and antioxidants, further enhancing its health benefits. However, the dish's calorie and fat content can increase if additional butter or high-sodium seasonings are used. Paired with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables, Lemon Chicken Thighs can be a wholesome and balanced meal, offering a blend of zesty flavor and nutritional value.
