Ingredients
- 8 pieces Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for added flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken.
Step 5
Add the chicken broth to the baking dish to keep the chicken moist during baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are golden brown on top.
Step 7
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the herb-infused chicken thighs with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, for a complete meal.
