Note
- For a more intense flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the lemon herb mix overnight before baking.
- Feel free to use fresh herbs instead of dried ones if desired.
- You may substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts for thighs if desired. Increase cooking time by a few minutes if necessary.
- To keep this dish gluten-free, use a gluten-free cooking spray or olive oil instead of regular cooking spray.
- For added crunch, you can top the chicken thighs with crumbled bacon before baking.
A: Yes, you can substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts for thighs if desired. However, be sure to increase the cooking time by a few minutes as chicken breasts generally take longer to cook.
A: Yes, you may substitute vegetable oil or melted butter in place of olive oil if desired. However, olive oil is a healthier option and it helps to keep the chicken moist during cooking. Also, to lighten things up, you can replace some of the olive oil with low-sodium vegetable broth.
A: To make this dish dairy-free, simply omit the cooking spray and use olive oil instead. This will still provide plenty of flavor without any added dairy products.
