Looking for a delicious and healthy dinner to make this week? Then my Oven Roasted Boneless Chicken Thighs with Pumpkin Glaze is just what you need! These tender chicken thighs are done in under 30 minutes! This easy chicken thighs recipe uses a simple spice rub and then they are roasted to perfection in the oven. You are going to finish them off with a glaze which is the pumpkin spread from Trader Joe’s.
Ingredients – boneless skinless chicken thighs, for best results avoid bone-in thighs – extra virgin olive oil – dried basil, garlic powder, oregano, dried parsley, Aleppo pepper (cayenne pepper works as great substitute) – 1 teaspoon paella spice blend – kosher salt – black pepper – pumpkin spread from Trader Joe’s
The first step is start with preheating the oven temperature to 400 degrees. If the pumpkin spread was refrigerated, set it out to bring to room temperature.
Remove any skin (if any) from the chicken thighs and rinse well. Pat dry with a paper towel and place chicken thighs in a single layer on the sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Season the chicken with a touch salt and black pepper.
Carefully remove the chicken from the oven when done. Using a pastry brush, glaze the juicy chicken thighs with the pumpkin spread. Serve these boneless thighs with your favorite side dishes. Store any remaining chicken pieces in an airtight container.
Pro Tip: When cooking chicken thighs, the best way to know if they are cooked properly is to use a meat thermometer or instant read thermometer. You will want to test the thickest part of the meat.
