I love a recipe like this Lemon Pepper Yogurt Chicken Thighs because it proves you don’t need a long ingredient list to make something Dantastic. You’ve got tender chicken thighs, creamy Greek yogurt, fresh lemon zest and juice, and bold lemon pepper flavor all working together. The yogurt helps keep the chicken tender, while the lemon brightens everything up so the dish doesn’t feel too heavy. This pairs great with rice, potatoes, or green veggies because they soak up all that lemony flavor and help round out the meal without overpowering it. It’s easy enough for any night of the week, but still feels like you made something thoughtful and Dan-Good.

Ingredients

3 lbs chicken thighs
3 tbsp Dan-O’s Lemon Pepper Seasoning
2 lemons
1 cup Greek yogurt

Preparation Instructions

Season the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or container. Add 2 tbsp Dan-O’s Lemon Pepper Seasoning.
Add the Lemon and Yogurt: Zest 1 lemon. Juice the same lemon, catching any seeds. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt to the chicken. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
Marinate: Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour. For more flavor, marinate longer if desired.
Prep for Baking: Arrange the chicken thighs on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Top the Chicken: Zest the second lemon and then slice the lemon thinly. Sprinkle the remaining Dan-O’s Lemon Pepper Seasoning over the chicken, then top with the lemon zest. Place the lemon slices on top of the chicken.
Bake the Chicken: Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!
