Cinnamon & Curry Spiced Chicken Thighs

This delicious baked chicken thigh recipes uses juicy and tender chicken thighs seasoned with cinnamon and curry for a low carb, high flavored dish that will have you begging for more! While it might surprise you, cinnamon is also used in savory dishes, including when you’re baking chicken. A little pinch of it goes a long way, and it pairs great with curry powder.

A word of caution, when you are baking chicken, you want to make sure the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 165 F just to be safe. Investing in a food thermometer is a great idea, especially when making this baked chicken thigh recipe. I prefer thighs over baked chicken breasts since breast is sometimes easy to over cook, where as thighs remain juicy and tender for longer. While I love my chicken with the skin on, boneless skinless chicken thighs are better if you’re also watching your calorie intake.

This recipe is full of both protein and flavor, and could also be great paired with a dollop of greek yogurt or with some salad. This easy chicken dinner recipe can be made in larger batches and then portioned out for lunch or dinner. It freezes and reheats very well so you can easily work this into your meal prep rotation. While you can bake it immediately after adding the seasonings, marinating the thigh meat in the spices will allow the flavor to enter the meat even more. An hour or two, covered in the fridge will do wonders for developing the dish. However, if you’re short on time, there’s no harm in just popping it into the pre-heated oven as is.
