An easy 5 ingredient recipe that takes only 5 minutes of prep before going into the oven. A perfect go-to weeknight recipe when you are short on prep time and need to get things done. I love setting this up and getting it in the oven and I'm free to do some things around the house, or get a few more meals set up for the rest of the week while this is roasting. Always make a little extra, this is phenomenally versatile for leftover makeovers!
6-8 chicken thighs, excess fat removed (skin on) ($1.75)
1/8 C. olive oil ($.35)
1 tsp. rosemary ($.05)
4 cloves garlic, minced (1 clove per 2 thighs) ($.10)
2-3 T. lemon juice ($.05)
salt and pepper, to taste ($.05)
Heat oven to 350. Grease a 13x9" baking dish.
Brush chicken with olive oil and coat evenly with garlic and rosemary. Sprinkle with lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165 and the skin should be golden brown.

Rosemary paired with chicken (or potatoes) makes my mouth water just thinkin' about it! Yum, cannot wait to have this for dinner!
