Are you on the hunt for a simple yet delicious chicken recipe that will impress your family and friends? Look no further! In this blog post, we'll walk you through an easy chicken dish that combines juicy chicken thighs with a tangy, creamy sauce. Whether you prefer cooking in the oven or using an air fryer, this recipe is versatile and perfect for any occasion. Let’s dive into the details!
Start by mixing the chicken thighs with olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and your chosen spices. This marinade not only adds flavor but also helps to tenderize the chicken.
For that perfect crispy texture, sprinkle a touch of baking powder over the marinated chicken. This small addition will make a big difference in how your chicken turns out!
You can choose to cook your chicken in either the oven or an air fryer:
Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook the chicken thighs for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
In a bowl, combine cream (or a dairy-free alternative), fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more lemon for extra tang or more dill for a herby flavor.
Once your chicken is cooked to perfection, serve it hot with the creamy lemony dill sauce drizzled on top. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or even a bed of rice.
This easy chicken recipe with a creamy lemony dill sauce is sure to become a go-to in your kitchen.
