Baked Chicken Thighs – To Break Up Boring Chicken Dinners

We often get stuck in a chicken rut over here. Mike is quickly bored by chicken dinners, but I am actively trying to reduce our red meat intake. Switching up chicken breasts and chicken thighs helps to keep things interesting. I realize white meat chicken is the better choice, but I’m trying to prevent burnout and complete rebellion.

At this point, Mike is thankful for any food that doesn’t come out of the slow cooker. I abused my Crockpot privileges, and now everything I make in it tastes the same according to Mike. :/

It’s strange, but somewhere along the line, I was trained to only purchase chicken breasts from the grocery store. I buy legs on occasion to make soup, but other than that, I have grocery shopping tunnel vision.

Baked chicken thighs are an excellent solution to the boring chicken dinner problem. Yes, chicken breasts are healthier, but variety is needed here. At least we have a balanced sheet pan meal here with veggies and potatoes.
