Hey fam, oh how I have missed you all. I took a month off to gather myself after being recalled to work after 15 months of being laid off. My batteries have recharged and I'm back with yet another tasty recipe. Lemon and Rosemary chicken is such a classic dish I couldn't help but tackle this one for you. 

Ingredients 
1 family pack of chicken thighs 
6 large lemons
9 sprigs of fresh rosemary (thyme or basil will work too)
2 TBSP lemon pepper seasoning
2 TBSP garlic salt
2 TBSP onion powder
1/4 cup olive oil 

Directions:
1. Wash and rinse your chicken thighs and place them in a large bowl.
2. Add olive oil dry seasonings to your chicken
3. Chop 6 sprigs of your rosemary and add to the chicken. Mix well and make sure that the chicken is covered with herbs and spices.
4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 
5. Slice your lemons and place them in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Then place the remaining 3 sprigs over the lemons.
6. In an oiled pan, sear the chicken thighs skin side down for 3 to 5 minutes, or until a beautiful crust (sear) has formed. Flip and sear for another minute or two.
7. Place the chicken thighs over the lemons and drizzle and little more olive oil over them before placing them in the oven to bake until an internal temp of 165 before serving.
8. Pair your chicken with your favorite starch and green veggie and enjoy.

Pro tip: 
Use the pan drippings after you sear the chicken to make a beautiful creamy gravy or citrus sauce to pour over the chicken.
