Baked Garlic Chicken Thighs & Veggies -

In an effort to eat healthier, I’ve been adding a lot more vegetables to our meals lately. It’s not too surprising they don’t get as many cheers as I’d hoped. Bt it’s an effort and a process, right? With this tasty garlic baked chicken thigh recipe, I loaded up on the veggie seasoning for extra flavor and MY taste buds were happy. So, if you’re looking for a delicious, healthier, no-fuss meal, this baked chicken recipe is just what you need this week!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

1lb chicken thighs

2 cups celery, thickly sliced
2 cups baby carrots
4 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tbsp chopped garlic

pre-heat oven to 450
brush veggies with a portion of the olive oil and season

Meal Sides

This tender baked garlic chicken and vegetable recipe pairs perfectly with any of your favorite sides. While the potatoes can be quite filling, I prefer to stick with a small side salad. The kids love to have a small side of bow tie pasta drizzled with a touch of olive oil and sprinkled with salt and parmesan. A small dish of pasta just goes great with anything! It’s also a great time to throw together a side of summer fruits. ANy leftovers are always a nice snack in the summer heat. If the kiddos are a bit picky, give them a touch of cool whip to dip their fruit in!
