Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with a bit of olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.
Place the chicken thighs in the baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the olive oil and lemon juice mixture over the chicken thighs, making sure each piece is well coated.
Sprinkle chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley evenly over the chicken.
Season the chicken thighs with black pepper and salt, adjusting to your taste preference.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
