About Lemon pepper chicken thighs

Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs combine zesty citrus flavor with a peppery kick, creating a dish that's both vibrant and comforting. This recipe usually features bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs marinated or seasoned with a mixture of fresh lemon juice, black pepper, garlic, olive oil, and optional herbs like thyme or parsley. While rooted in global culinary traditions, this dish is particularly popular in American and Mediterranean cuisines for its bright, bold flavors. Chicken thighs are a rich source of protein, iron, and essential nutrients, though they can be higher in fat compared to leaner cuts. However, using olive oil instead of butter and opting for balanced portions can make this meal a heart-healthy choice. Pair it with steamed vegetables or whole grains to enhance its nutritional profile and enjoy a satisfying, flavorful dish that's ideal for weeknight dinners or weekend gatherings.
