Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs bone-in can also work, but will have longer cooking time
  • 2 lemons, for zesting
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp turmeric optional (adds nice color)
  • 3 tsp cracked pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 large onions (sweet, yellow or red)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs. Place in a bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, turmeric, garlic, and lemon zest. Mix chicken and spices until all chicken pieces are well coated. Set aside.

  3. Thinly slice the onions. Place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of oil. Sprinkle with some salt. Toss onion slices until coated. (You can also mix the onions in a bowl, but who really wants one more thing to wash?)

  4. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the onions. Bake the chicken for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F.

  5. Serve chicken alongside your favorite grain or vegetables. Enjoy!
