My family absolutely loved these lemon rosemary chicken thighs and they’re so easy to make! With just 10 minutes of prep time and combining a few simple ingredients, you’ll be amazed at how delicious this chicken is. I love quick, easy, and delicious dishes and this chicken is all of that and more. Enjoy!

Let’s talk about the ingredients in this delicious chicken dish!

We are using bone-in and skin on chicken thighs for this dish. If you’d like, you could substitute with a whole cut up chicken. You’ll just want to ensure your chicken is cooked to 165 degrees. I found that 2 sliced large lemons was the perfect amount to cover the bottom of a 13×9 inch baking dish; but you could use 3 smaller lemons. For seasoning, we drizzle some olive oil over our chicken, then season evenly with salt and pepper. I added just a little pepper, but if you’d like, you can add even more. Fresh chopped rosemary brings incredible flavor to this chicken. It also results in a beautiful dish that works great for everyday meals or could be served for parties or special occasion meals as well!

Are these lemon rosemary chicken thighs difficult to make?

This chicken dish is incredibly easy to make, but if you don’t tell anyone, they’ll think much more time went into making it!😊I like to spray my baking dish with avocado oil spray to ensure nothing sticks to it. Then, you’ll want to layer the bottom of the dish with your sliced lemons. It’s amazing how much lemon flavor gets infused into this chicken with simply setting the chicken on top of the lemons to bake. You’ll then drizzle olive oil over the chicken and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Then sprinkle your fresh chopped rosemary evenly over the chicken. I love the addition of fresh rosemary to this dish, but you can use dried. If you use dried rosemary, you’ll want to substitute 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary in place of the 1 tablespoon of fresh. Last, you’ll want to bake your chicken until it reaches 165 degrees.

How can I serve these lemon rosemary chicken thighs?

You have some awesome low-carb choices for serving this chicken. For a light option, it can be served with a keto salad or soup. You can also add some keto biscuits, cornbread, or English muffins as a side for this dish. Any keto cooked vegetable would pair nicely with this chicken. Some good options include broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, green beans, kohlrabi, roasted radishes or turnips, or spinach. This chicken can also be served with mashed cauliflower, mashed kohlrabi, or mashed turnips. Cauliflower mac and cheese is another great dish to serve with this chicken!
