Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cups Low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a richer flavor.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-marinated baked chicken thighs warm with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
