Need an easy chicken dinner recipe?  Lemon Rosemary Chicken Thighs are a family favorite around here.  And they are a breeze to make.

I often  make dinner in the mornings while I am working.  I prep everything so when dinner time comes, all I have to do is heat and serve.  Trying to make dinner after a long day when Little One is needing attention just doesn’t seem to work for me.

This easy chicken thigh recipe is on regular dinner rotation at our house. I make a big batch so we have leftovers for lunches during the week.  The tangy lemony flavor and hint of rosemary pair well with a big green salad and honey sesame yams.  Your family will love it.

Many chicken recipes call for baking chicken thighs uncovered.  I find that this makes for a slightly chewy chicken.  Not really my cup of tea.  I prefer my chicken soft, tender, and juicy- falling off the bone.  This is achieved by roasting it in a dutch oven or cover baking dish at a lower temperature.  It does take a bit longer but so worth it.  I broil the chicken thighs for just a few minutes at the end to give them a nice crispy finish.

It’s sophisticated enough to serve for dinner guests and simple enough to throw together for a weeknight meal.  I hope you enjoy it!
