Ingredients

• 8 pieces Skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Place the skinless chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the chicken thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated.

Step 4

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching for even cooking.

Step 5

Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken thighs for added flavor.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). The chicken should be tender and lightly browned.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Garnish the chicken thighs with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the chicken thighs hot with your choice of Paleo-friendly side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
