Best chicken thigh recipe

15/01/2018 by Julie Karla Leave a Comment

I call this the best chicken thigh recipe becauce it’s super easy to make and contains all my favorite ingredients. I LOVE cauliflower and especially when it’s oven baked. And together with grapes, almonds and a yummy basil dressing this dish just rock my world.chicken thigh recipe

Huge fan of cauliflower

I’m actually that big a fan of cauliflower that I literally always have it in my fridge. The best thing is when it’s cauliflower season here  in Denmark and I can get them “almost” straight from my neighbours’ garden.

But I can settle with the organic ones from the south European countries any other time of the year, so I can make my favorite Pizza with cauliflower crust or of course my best chicken thigh recipe.Best chicken thigh recipe with grapes

Best chicken thigh recipe is low carbTHE best chicken thigh recipe is super easy to make

This chicken recipe takes no time to prep. About 15 minutes and then you can sit and relax with a glass of wine, while the food is cooking in the oven. Love that. That’s how I like to cook!

The 3 main ingredients just goes into the same dish and then bake for 45 minutes. Dinner is ready in an hour and the time you used for prepping was minimal.

Also the ingredients are very child friendly. My son, who’s 2, loves chicken, cauliflower AND grapes, so this dish is a total win for him. And if he’s happy I am too, which you’ll probably would have guessed.healthy chicken thigh recipe
