Brined lemon-seasoned chicken thighs baked with fresh lemon slices and served with savory mushroom sauce for an impressive meal.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons rosemary garlic seasoning
  • 8 chicken thighs
  • water, or as needed to cover
  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup light butter
  • 3 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • 1 pinch onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried lemon peel
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock
Instructions:
  • Combine 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, salt, rosemary garlic seasoning, and oregano in a spacious bowl. Mix in the chicken and add sufficient water to submerge it completely. Refrigerate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before cooking, discard the lemon juice brine.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and prepare a large baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil.
  • Layer the baking dish with half of the lemon slices. Place the chicken thighs on top of the lemon slices and finish by adding the remaining lemon slices on the chicken.
  • Roast chicken in a hot oven until fully cooked, about 30 to 40 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) near the bone.
  • Combine light butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until melted. Stir in mushrooms, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried lemon peel. Cook until mushrooms are browned and soft, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Combine the chicken stock and flour in a sealed jar and shake vigorously. Pour the mixture into the mushrooms.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-high and allow the mushroom sauce to simmer and thicken for approximately 10 minutes. Serve the sauce alongside the chicken.
