Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone in, skin on)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts (frozen or fresh)

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings. Add the chicken and coat it fully with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour (or overnight for even more flavor!).
  • Prepare to Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Transfer the marinated chicken to a baking dish and add the brussels sprouts. Slice the leftover lemon peel into thin strips and scatter them around the chicken for an extra boost of citrusy aroma.
  • Roast to Perfection: Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Serve & Store: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before enjoying. If meal prepping, divide into containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
