| Lemon Garlic Marinaded Chicken Thighs with Corn & Plum Slaw 'Refreshing and bright.' 'Can't believe how tasty & inexpensive this is.' |
The depth of flavour in this recipe surprised the Lunch Club members as they were bracing themselves for 'boring chicken'. This is an easy-peasy dish though it does require some hours or overnight to marinade. It's easy on the budget. The recipe was adapted from Ina Garten to reduce fat and salt levels.
Serves 4-6 with sides
Cost: £4.75
Ingred:
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp grated lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (3 lemons approx)
1 tbsp minced or grated garlic (3 cloves)
1 tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried rosemary, oregano or parsley
cracked black pepper and a little salt
1 pkg chicken thighs (about 7), skin removed
Method
1.Combine first 6 ingredients; pour into a dish large enough to fit the thighs.
2. Place the thighs flesh side down in the dish. Turn once. Turn again.
3. Cover with cling film and put in the fridge for two hours.
4. Turn the thighs. Recover and put in fridge for another two hours.
5. Turn. By now most of the marinade will be absorbed. The marinading should go on for a minimum 4 hours but you can leave them overnight.
6. Bake uncovered in pre-heated oven at 350f/180c/ gas mark 5 for 40-45 minutes or until done.
7. Serve with equally frugal and delicious Positively Terrific Potato, Onion & Carrot Melange
