I wanted to make a healthy and flavorful chicken recipe for our dinner so I made this easy Roasted Chicken Thighs with Fresh Thyme recipe. The chicken cooked for a few minutes on the stovetop and then finished in the oven. It turned out moist, tender, flavorful, and healthy. We all enjoyed the chicken and thought it paired nicely with chanterelle risotto and a big salad.

The chicken looks and sounds delicious, Pam!Thyme gives a nice flavor! Have a great day 🙂

Love roasting chicken thighs; gives such a good flavour. Classic with thyme too.

Sounds delicious! I used to buy only chicken breasts, but thighs are so much more flavorful and stay moist much better. And thyme is a great herb and goes great with chicken!
