Description
A delicious and flavorful Rosemary Garlic Chicken recipe that elevates your dinner with tender chicken thighs marinated in garlic, rosemary, and lemon.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the chicken over medium-high heat, skin side down, for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and Dijon mustard, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, skin side up, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the pan juices over the chicken for added flavor.
Notes
- For a crispy skin, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
- You can substitute the chicken thighs with bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts for a leaner option.
- Add vegetables like carrots or potatoes to the skillet for a complete one-pan meal.
