This lemon chicken is a favorite in our house. It’s super easy, takes pretty much no prep, and is very healthy! I use organic ingredients, no salt, and then bake it!

My whole family loves this dish and it goes with pretty much any veggie or other side dish. Personally, I’m a fan of serving it with fresh cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, corn on the cob and quinoa. Sometimes I like to serve the chicken with alphabet fries – so we can make words while the kids eat 🙂 The options for sides are endless – so let me give you the recipe for this main dish so you can try it out!

INGERDIENTS: 

• 2 lbs – Organic boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 3 – Organic lemons
• 3 to 4 tbsp – Organic salt free all purpose seasoning
• 1 – 3 quart baking dish
• Coconut spray (or preferred cooking spray)
• Parchment paper

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly coat baking dish in cooking spray.
• Put all of the chicken thighs into the baking dish (they can touch each other).
  

• Wash the lemons and cut into wedges.

• Nestle the wedges between the chicken.
• Sprinkle the tops of the chicken with the all purpose seasoning.
• Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray.
• Cut parchment to fit on top of the
  baking dish. Cover the chicken with parchment and push it down. The cooking spray will help it stick a bit. Tuck any little corners down between the chicken and baking dish.
• Bake for about 35 min or until chicken thighs have an internal
  temp of 165 degrees F on an instant read meat thermometer (if you don’t have one – it’s a MUST have in the kitchen).
• Take baking dish out of the oven
  and be careful as there will be a
  lot of juice in the dish from the lemons.
•  Take chicken out of the baking dish
  and place on a platter. I cut it into little pieces for the kiddos, but this is best served whole for adults and older kids.
• Serve with preferred side dish…veggie, pasta, rice, quinoa, salad, etc.  You can make this chicken and even use it as the main dish with leftovers as the side! Talk about a great way to use what you have in the fridge! 🙂

ENJOY! XOXO
