This recipe was actually created as I was preparing some chicken for Emery. I wanted her first exposure to chicken to be flavorful, not bland. I also wanted it to be quick and easy for me to prepare! If you’re making this for your babies or toddlers, just limit the salt on their chicken pieces. For me, I loved having this chicken sliced on top of greens for lunch. Filling, flavorful, and healthy!
Ingredients:
Emery enjoying her chicken, with roasted sweet potatoes and pureed black beans!
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
Directions:
Bring chicken out of the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
In a bowl, combine garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix to combine. Add chicken thighs and olive oil and mix until chicken is covered in spices.
Bake chicken thighs on a baking dish for 20-30 minutes (thin pieces should only take 20 minutes), or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
