Lemon Rosemary Chicken: Recipe and Video
So, as you can see, I bought a big bag of chicken thighs this week and made a few different recipes from them. I love doing this so I don’t eat the same thing every day and i have different things for lunches the next day. You can also freeze extras for future lunches. I find that it usually thaws overnight by lunch the next day. Simple and very satisfying. All the chicken dishes I have posted this week are awesome over cold or slightly wilted greens too!!
Lemon Rosemary Chicken
LEMON ROSEMARY CHICKEN
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs or tenders
3 T lemon juice and 1 T lemon zest
1 T fresh rosemary or 2 t dried, minced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 t olive oil
1 T paprika
In a skillet with a bit of cooking spray, brown both sides of your chicken. Chicken thighs should probably cook for 5 minutes a side, chicken tenders for about 3. While you’re doing that, combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. After your chicken has browned, add the sauce to the skillet and cook for another 5-10 minutes for thighs, 5-7 minutes for tenders, or until chicken is fully cooked.
OMG Janice… this was AMAZING!!!!! i made it tonight for dinner and hubby and i def think its a keeper and we are going to make it at least twice a month.
oh well..)
i had to compensate for what i had at home so instead of rosemary, i added thyme (i actually tot u had said thyme and so bought that and only found out when i came home that it was rosemary
and i used regualr paprika and not smoked (hubby doesnt like the smoked one) and i omitted the olive oil because i am in the attack phase.
and i literally LICKED the sauce off the pan!!!! thank u thank u thank u!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3
i’m so glad you liked it! i loved it myself. so much i’m going to put it in my meatball cookbook i’m writing! just have to decide what kind of meat i’m going to use. probably turkey. and thyme is perfect with lemon so you did good! i actually am growing lemon thyme so that is a great idea for whenever i find the “time” to make it again! thanks for all the positive feedback, i really appreciate the kind words!
I agree with Elly. This was really good. I accidentally grabbed my smoked paprika instead of regular but still tasted great.At least once a week I marinate chicken thighs (boneless skinless) in lemon juice, olive oil and rosemary. The paprika added a nice change.
i’m in love with smoked paprika. i put it in everything! but the regular is cool too. i have hungarian sharp, sweet, hot and spanish smoked. it’s ridiculous!!
Your pad thai recipe was so good I had it two days in a row – tonight I’m going to try this. Love the YouTube demos too.
thanks, stephanie!!
i tried this out tonight it was sooooo good… thanks for sharing
glad you liked it!!
I am making this now. Didn’t say no OO if on attack phase. Bummer
