Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, and oregano to the bowl, mixing well to form a marinade.
Step 4
Season the marinade with salt and black pepper, stirring once more to combine all the ingredients.
Step 5
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Step 6
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, ideally up to 2 hours.
Step 7
Once marinated, arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking dish, pouring any remaining marinade over them.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the herb-infused chicken thighs with a side of your choice, such as a fresh Mediterranean salad or roasted vegetables, for a complete meal.
