Simple Baked Chicken Thighs
Looking for an easy weeknight meal the whole family will love? Look no further. This chicken recipe is delicious and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Enjoy the juicy chicken and buttery noodles.
This chicken dish is a great weeknight meal since it’s so easy to throw together.
The recipe is also so simple that I can make big batches and bring along to potluck dinners and also for holidays.
Sometimes I buy the chicken thighs already skinned and boned. Other times I buy the thighs with the skin but without the bone.
It all depends what’s available at the time and if we’re in the mood for some crispy skin on that night.
I served the delicious chicken thighs over buttered noodles and had frozen peas, so I tossed some frozen peas in the microwave for just a minute or so and served the peas around the chicken thighs once plated.
In a short time you will have a delicious dinner your whole family will love.
