Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, and onion powder to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
For a crispy finish, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping an eye on the chicken to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-marinated chicken thighs with your favorite keto-friendly sides such as steamed broccoli or a fresh garden salad.
