Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Quick and easy. These chicken thighs are ready for serving in less than 30 minutes. Meal Prep friendly. While they are super quick and easy to make, I also love making a larger batch of them to store in the refrigerator for meal prep during the week. Use in so many ways. You can use these chicken thighs in any recipe that you would use cooked chicken, such as my Grilled Chicken Salad or even my Greek Chicken Pasta Salad recipe.

Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
Chicken thighs – I love using boneless, skinless chicken thighs to minimize prep and mess; they are easier to serve and eat and better for meal prep. If you use chicken thighs with the bone-in and skin on, you’ll need to increase the cooking time to ensure that you reach 165º F in the center with an instant-read thermometer. Lemon – one whole lemon is used in this recipe for a quick marinade and served with the cooked chicken. Stone House Seasoning – my go-to house seasoning blend (my last name is Stone) of salt, pepper, and garlic that I use in so many recipes. If you don’t already have a batch on hand of this seasoning (I highly encourage you to make it soon!), you can use 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic.
