Ingredients

  • 8 skinless, boned chicken thighs
  • sea or kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2- 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small box or bag frozen peas

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, have a baking pan sprayed with olive oil cooking spray ready to go, set aside. Rinse chicken pieces under cold water, lay on paper towels and pat dry. Place chicken in pan, drizzle oil over pieces. Season with salt, pepper, turmeric, garlic and onion powder. Squeeze lemon juice over chicken if using. Bake for about 25 minutes. Thighs cook up fast. Check that juices run clear and chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If chicken needs more time, place back in the oven for 10 minutes. If the tops are getting to dark, place foil loosely over chicken. Take out of oven and let rest for about 8 to 10 minutes. Then, place foil over chicken to keep warm. Enjoy over noodles or rice.
