Calories: 225kcal
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional gravy (with the juices)*
- Juices from the chicken thighs
- 1 - 2 teaspoons flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Place the chicken thighs in a 9x13 baking pan. Drizzle with oil and season with spices. Use your hands to coat the chicken with the oil and spices, then set aside.
- Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 16 - 20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
- Pull the chicken from the oven (leaving the juices in the pan if there are any) and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
- If you want to make a quick gravy, add the chicken juices to a small saucepan. Over medium-low heat, bring the mixture to a simmer and whisk in 1 teaspoon of flour. Once it's thickened, remove it and use it as a gravy.*
- Serve the chicken over dairy free mashed potatoes (with your favorite vegetable on the side – check the post for more ideas!) and drizzle with gravy. Enjoy!
