Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs - a sheet pan recipe that can be on your table in less than 30 minutes!

I’ve said this many times, but baked boneless chicken thighs are one of my favorite ingredients for a quick weeknight meal. This recipe can be on your table in less than 30  minutes. I know in my house, that makes it an absolute win!

Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs with peppers and onions. This recipe is great for a busy weeknight because it can be on your table in 30 minutes or less!

It has taken me awhile to embrace chicken thighs. Over the past few years I’ve smartened up and have mostly ditched the dry, flavorless chicken breasts in turn for boneless chicken thighs that can be baked in the oven. This recipe is so easy with its simple and flavorful sauce. I add this chicken to rice, serve it on a bun for sandwiches, or toss it into a salad.

I created this baked boneless chicken thigh recipe after cleaning out my fridge and noticing I had a jar of Oyster Sauce that I hadn’t used in a bit. Oyster Sauce is a sauce made from oysters as well as soy sauce. It’s often used in Asian cooking and adds the most incredible flavor to chicken dishes like this one.

Although I highly recommend using Oyster sauce in this recipe (you can find it at most major supermarkets in the Asian food aisle), if you need to substitute I recommend the following: double the amount of soy sauce, replace equally with Hoisin sauce or use teriyaki sauce instead. Either way, you’ll end up with a meal that’s quick to put on the table and incredibly delicious.

Tips for Making Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs

For those not used to making baked boneless chicken thighs, here are a few tips to help. First of all, when you bake chicken thighs you’ll either want to spray the baking sheet, line your sheet pan with foil, or use a silicone type baking mat. The silicone mat is your best bet if you don’t want to add oil to your sheet pan (since chicken thighs are slightly higher in fat). Otherwise, make sure you either spray your sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray or lightly brush it with olive oil.

Another tip – chicken thighs bake really quickly, so don’t overcook. Most boneless chicken thighs can be baked in 20 minutes or less at 425° (although you will want to make sure your chicken thighs are at an internal temperature of 165°F before removing from the oven). The bonus about baked boneless chicken thighs is, even if you cook for a bit longer than you meant to, they won’t dry out like chicken breasts. They are tender, juicy and flavorful no matter what!

Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs with Peppers and Onions - a great way to make baked boneless chicken thighs!

If you’re ready to make dinnertime easier and more delicious, ditch the chicken breasts and give this Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs recipe with Peppers and Onions a try! Your family will thank you!

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken thighs (approximately 1 pound)
  • 4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 Tablespoons Oyster Sauce (see blog post for substitutions)
  • 4 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 red bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 orange or yellow bell pepper cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 yellow onion cut into thin strips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Place chicken thighs in a large bowl.
  • In a small measuring cup, whisk together olive oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour half the mixture over the chicken and toss until well coated.
  • Add the peppers and onions to the bowl and pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and vegetables and toss again until well coated.
  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or tin foil. If using tin foil (or the sheet pan directly) brush a small amount of oil onto the pan/foil. 
  • Add the chicken and vegetables to the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven when temperature reaches 165° F. For slightly crispy, more roasted vegetables, continue cooking under the broiler on high for an additional 3 minutes, watching closely. (Broiler step is optional).

Notes

Here's a simple tip if you are using more than 4 chicken thighs. Simply increase the olive oil, oyster sauce and soy sauce by 1 Tablespoon per chicken thigh.

    Soooo good! I let the chicken marinade in the sauce for about an hour before cooking (because I had the time), turned out amazing. Definitely adding to my favorites.

    Did you drain the marinad off before baking, or pour it on top ?

    This was delicious! I had 6 thighs so I Increased my marinade ingredients as suggested in recipe. I also added about a tablespoon of brown sugar to add a little sweetness. Great recipe and will add to our rotation.

    I made the Chicken Thighs with Bell Peppers and Onions. It was absolutely delicious. I substituted the Oyster Sauce and Soy with Wishtishire Sauce it is lower in Sodium. Since I gave an Electric oven, I had to cook it for about 35 Minutes.

    So good and so easy! Can be used with up to 2 pounds of chicken and just 15 more minutes in a convection oven. Served over rice with an Asian Medley of steamed vegetables.

    I don’t usually leave ratings or reviews, but WOW!! My 3 kids ages 3, 3 and 6 ALL ate EVERY bite!! And my husband and I devoured it, too! The only thing I did differently was use fish sauce instead of oyster because I didn’t have oyster. I also added 1 T of brown sugar because I thought oyster sauce was sweeter than fish? Anyway, I was nervous as it was cooking because it smelled kind of fishy, and I was thinking that I had just ruined a batch of food LOL But every single bite was eaten!!! I haven’t had a win like this ever LOL THANK YOU!!!

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢

I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
