×Jump to RecipePrint RecipeThis Easy Baked Lemon Chicken recipe is made with chicken thighs or chicken breasts, fresh lemons, herbs and garlic. It's a one-pan lemon chicken recipe that makes juicy, flavourful chicken with a crispy exterior. Guaranteed to become a family favourite! So easy and so delicious! Keto-friendly.Made with fresh lemons, herbs and garlic, this Easy Baked Lemon Chicken is a quick weeknight meal, but it's special enough for a dinner party. Just like this Baked Lemon Artichoke Chicken, it will have you dreaming of the sun-drenched Mediterranean!This is a simple, healthy oven-baked lemon chicken recipe for chicken thighs or breasts, all baked in one pan.I'm not always on the lookout for the easiest recipe ever.&nbsp; I love playing around with food and changing recipes and tackling something new that might be challenging to me. But if I tried to do that with every dish in a meal, my kitchen (and my meal) would likely be a disaster.So sometimes it's great to find a shortcut recipe and whip it up quickly so that you have time to concentrate on making an interesting side dish or salad&nbsp;or dessert. And that was the case with this baked lemon herb chicken.Jump to:Here's your short list of ingredients.chicken: use bone-in skin-on thighs, or boneless, skinless thighs, or boneless breastsgarlic: Lots! Fresh is always best.herbs: Keep it easy and use dried oregano and thyme, or fresh if you have it!lemons: You'll need these for both lemon juice and lemon zest, and one lemon to slice to add to the pan.olive oil: for that incredible Mediterranean flavour!dry white wine: A good glug of white wine! If you don't cook with wine, you can substitute chicken broth.So simple!Heat a little olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon and herbs in a saucepan.Pour into a baking dish.Place the chicken in the dish and spoon the sauce over top.Bake in the oven.That's it! Done. The skin turns out nicely browned and crispy, and there is no risk of it coming off and sticking to your skillet.If you keep the skin on while baking, it keeps the chicken moist. If you use boneless, skinless breasts, be sure to baste frequently during cooking to keep them from drying out.I prefer thighs over chicken breasts for this recipe as the thighs have more flavour and don't dry out like breasts tend to do, but either will work. Just be sure to baste the chicken breasts with sauce from the baking dish a few times while it is baking. If you're using boneless chicken pieces, you can reduce your baking time.Check your chicken with an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure it is cooked to a safe temperature of 165°F.I have also used Meyer Lemons in this recipe for their sweeter, more intense flavour. They're not always available, so use whatever fresh lemons you have.What should you serve with baked lemon chicken? It is so versatile and it goes with so many things that I've created a whole round-up of suggestions in this post What to Serve with Lemon Chicken!I usually keep it simple and serve it with some steamed broccoli or 5-Minute Sesame Asparagus and a side salad. If you're a fan of mashed potatoes, these Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes will make a delicious side for lemon chicken.This healthy chicken dish also goes well with my Cauliflower Rice,&nbsp;Never Fail Thai Coconut Rice,&nbsp;or try it with these crispy Apple Cider Roasted Root Vegetables&nbsp;.For a festive dinner, you'll love this Instant Pot Cranberry Pistachio Rice Pilaf.Can I use chicken breasts to make lemon chicken? Yes! I adapted this recipe slightly from Ina Garten's Lemon Chicken Breasts on the Food Network. I've made it several times, using both boneless chicken thighs and bone-in thighs. I've also made it with chicken breasts. What wine pairs well with baked lemon chicken? The lemon sauce on this healthy keto chicken dish has gentle flavours, so a simple dry white wine will pair well with it. You might like to try a Chardonnay, a Pinot Grigio or your favourite dry white wine. Can I freeze lemon chicken? Lemon chicken freezes well. Remove the cooked lemon slices before freezing, then cover the dish or transfer to an airtight baking dish and freeze. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, add fresh lemon slices, then reheat it covered, at 350°F. for about 30 minutes or until heated through. You may want to place it under the broiler for a minute or two to crisp the skin.Bon Appetit! I hope this becomes a family favourite in your home!And if you love lemon chicken, you'll love these Moroccan Lemon Chicken Thighs: tender chicken thighs marinated in fragrant spices and tangy lemon juice, all cooked to perfection in a skillet.&nbsp;You may also like these other baked chicken recipes on Flavour and Savour!
