Aromatic Lemon Herb Chicken

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that always brings me back to lazy summer days spent in the countryside. This aromatic lemon herb chicken is bursting with fresh flavors and is the perfect dish to enjoy with friends and family on a warm evening.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Prepare your kitchen tools before starting:

  • baking dish
  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring spoons
  • citrus zester

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the dish with foil and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Once the chicken has marinated, remove the foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. The aroma of lemon and herbs will fill your kitchen, creating a truly enticing experience.

This aromatic lemon herb chicken dish weighs approximately 900 grams once cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 225 grams, with an estimated calorie count of 300 per serving.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some extra fresh herbs on top of the chicken just before serving to enhance the flavors and add a pop of color to the dish.

I encourage you to try this aromatic lemon herb chicken recipe and make it your own by adding your favorite seasonal vegetables or a side of fluffy couscous. Enjoy the fresh and tangy flavors of this dish with your loved ones!
