Spanish-Style Chicken Thighs | 5 Mins Prep | One Pan Recipe!

chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Skinless thighs reduce fat, while drumsticks are usually cheaper.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a similar flavor profile and a higher smoke point.

green olives

🥗Healthier: kalamata olives

💰Cheaper: canned black olives

Kalamata olives offer a richer flavor, while canned black olives are more budget-friendly.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: homemade chicken broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon cubes

Homemade broth is fresher, while bouillon is convenient and cost-effective.

Preheat the oven.

In a large oven-safe casserole dish, heat olive oil.

Add the sliced onion and crushed garlic, cooking until softened.

Add the chicken thighs, canned diced tomatoes, lemon juice, and spices (smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and chili pepper flakes).

Mix everything together well.

Cover the dish and place it in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
