Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs
Crispy-edged chicken thighs roasted with zesty lemon and aromatic oregano, served alongside tender charred asparagus spears for a vibrant and nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Asparagus
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Arrange the boneless skinless chicken thighs and the trimmed asparagus spears on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the lemon-herb marinade over the chicken and asparagus, using your hands or a pastry brush to ensure every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated.
Spread the ingredients out so they are not crowded, which allows the chicken to develop those delicious crispy edges during the roasting process.
Roast in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender and lightly charred.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a succulent and flavorful result.
