Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.

  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
