These tasty chicken thighs are inspired by flavors of Spain, combining salty olives with sweet peppers, aromatic thyme and smokey paprika.

This recipe is a great stand-alone dish or can be served alongside a simple salad or with steamed vegetables.

  • Step 4

    Arrange the vegetable and olive mix in the bottom of an oven proof dish and add in the browned chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper and mix everything together.

    Transfer to the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through so that the chicken is coated in the juices. The chicken should be golden and completely cooked through.

    Good basic recipe but lacks flavor as a whole. Also this serves two with adding an additional veggie side this will not feed 4 people. Considering that the macros are still good splitting the recipe in 2 rather than 4. Ill make it again but tweak the spices.

      I used regular paprika, red pepper flakes, and added some green olives also. It was fun! We were happily surprised.

          What would the carb count be if I left the skin on?

            I thought it was delicious. The balance between the spiciness of the paprika and the peppers were great for my taste. I'm definitely making this again.

              It was ok, but not super flavorful.

                This was tasty, but the portion size was way to small. 12.7 oz does not = 4 large chicken thighs. It = 4 smallish chicken thighs (FYI of you're not using a kitchen weight)

                  What do you think about subbing turmeric for the paprika? I'm allergic to red chili and even mild paprika is not an option.

                    Is one serving 2 thighs? That seems a bit much.

                      8oz is one serving, no bones of course

                      Hi, I agree - I have updated the recipe so it is now 1 thigh per person. Many thanks.
