“Delicious One-Pan Chicken Recipe: Elevate Your Mealtime with Flavor!
This simple yet sensational chicken recipe is a game-changer! The key lies in the marinade, which infuses the chicken with incredible flavor, while the quick garlicky herb sauce takes it to a new level.
Start by preparing four skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs. Pat them dry with a paper towel and place them in a bowl.
For the marinade, combine two tablespoons of olive oil, two tablespoons of tomato paste, four minced garlic cloves, the zest and juice of 1 large lemon, salt, pepper, one tablespoon of smoked paprika, one tablespoon of oregano or thyme, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well and pour over the chicken, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Let it marinate ideally for 2 to 6 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C). Remove the chicken from the fridge and let it come to room temperature before baking.
Place the chicken on a wire rack and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden and cooked.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a food processor, blend three tablespoons of thick Greek yogurt (or labneh), a handful of fresh mint, two scallions, 1/2 large jalapeño, one tablespoon of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and plate it. Serve with side dishes like rice or quinoa, or choose a low-carb option like high-protein kaizen rice. Drizzle the chicken with the prepared sauce, and enjoy!
