Ingredients to use for this garlic chicken dish recipe:
- Chicken – you can use any part of the chicken for this recipe.
- Olive oil – Extra Virgin

How to make excellent garlic parmesan chicken thighs:
- Season and bake chicken – by placing some seasonings on first, it allows the flavors to get baked into the chicken. While it is baking, you can stir together the sauce. This helps save time
- When chicken it done, coat it in the garlic parmesan sauce. Serve!
What to serve with oven baked chicken:
- Potatoes – My family loves serving mashed potatoes with our garlic parm chicken! You can pour the leftover garlic sauce on the potatoes to make them garlic potatoes, which tastes quite yummy!
- Vegetable – Meat and veggies always go well together!
How do I tell if chicken is done?
- Temp – With a meat thermometer, you can remove a piece of chicken from heat and insert the meat thermometer. If the chicken temps above 165 degrees Fahrenheit, it is done.
- Cutting it open – Without a meat thermometer (I did not have one for years) you can cut a slice of chicken open to see if it is done. If it is white on the inside, it is done. If the chicken is still slightly pink, let cook a bit longer. When using thigh meat, I prefer to cut mine open because sometimes even if it is done, blood can collect on the inside. Cutting it open releases it.
How to store garlic parmesan chicken thighs:
- Fridge – store these garlic parmesan chicken thighs in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week
- Freezer – this recipe can be a freezer meal! Follow directions as normal and remove chicken from pan and place into a freezer tray with a lid. Once cool, place in the freezer for up to one month. To serve, place it in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour or until heated throughout.
