About Lemon garlic chicken thigh

Lemon Garlic Chicken Thigh is a flavorful dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, showcasing tender, juicy chicken thighs marinated in a zesty blend of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and herbs like oregano or parsley. This dish highlights fresh, wholesome ingredients and is often baked or skillet-cooked for a golden, caramelized finish. Rich in protein from the chicken and heart-healthy fats from olive oil, it is a satisfying option that supports muscle maintenance and cardiovascular health. The dish is low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for low-carb or keto diets. While it offers balanced nutrition, moderation is key as chicken thighs contain higher amounts of fat compared to leaner cuts, and excessive sodium may be present depending on seasoning. Pairing with steamed vegetables or whole grains can enhance its nutritional profile and add fiber for a more complete meal.
