Lemon & Rosemary Roasted Chicken Thighs

If your family is a busy on the go family like ours then your going to love this recipe!

Now that the warmer weather has arrived here in the Northeast I’m realizing that I need to get back on track with some healthy eating habits.  Sometimes this can get a bit challenging with everyone’s busy schedule.

I made these Lemon & Rosemary Roasted Chicken Thighs  for dinner last week and they were a huge hit with everyone.  I loved how easy it was to put together such a tasty and healthy meal.

My trick to giving the chicken an extra citrus and herb flavor is to stuff the sliced lemons and some of the chopped rosemary under the chicken skin.  It was amazing how much more flavorful the chicken was.

What to serve with your Lemon & Rosemary Roasted Chicken Thighs

I served the chicken with Strawberry Spinach Salad {with Honey Poppy Seed Dressing} that I shared the recipe for last week and a Green Bean & Wild Rice Stir Fry which I’ll be sharing on Thursday.

I was happy that I made extra because my daughter loved it so much she wanted to take it to school the next day for lunch.  It’s one of those dishes that tastes great reheated or cold so it was perfect for a school lunch!

Instructions

  • Slice lemon in half. Slice half of the lemon in thin slices ( you'll need 8 slices. I cut each of my slices in half as well) and set other half aside.
  • Lift chicken skin and sprinkle a little bit of chopped rosemary under the skin and a slice of lemon. Cover with the chicken skin and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
  • Squeeze the juice from the other half of the lemon over the chicken thighs and sprinkle with the remaining rosemary.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Juices should run clear when the chicken is pierced.
