Baked Garlic Dijon Chicken Thighs

For some reason, I always have chicken thighs on hand and I NEVER remember how I cook them. They are more fattier than chicken breasts so they are more tender and moist and hold flavor really well.

This chicken recipe is easy to make, easy to memorize and easy to adapt if you don’t have the ingredients listed!

What You Need:

  • 1lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 2 T. Olive Oil
  • 1 T. Dijon Mustard
  • 1 T. White Wine Vinegar (Or anything else sour: Lemon juice, Lime juice balsamic, or red wine vinegar or apple cider vineger, etc.)
  • 1 T. Honey (Or anything else sweet: Brown sugar, Maple Syrup, etc.)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Red Pepper Flakes to taste (I just use a pinch)
  • A glass dish to bake it in

Preheat oven to 425 and season your chicken with salt and pepper. Whisk the oil, mustard, vinegar, honey, garlic and pepper flakes in a glass baking dish to make a sauce. Dump the chicken in and stir to coat. Roast the chicken for about 20-25 mins.

What to serve with it:
– Roast potatoes or any other veggie (put them in the oven while the chicken cooks)
– Rice or Quinoa
– Basic salad with simple vinaigrette.
