This delicious recipe for baked chicken with lemon and thyme is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's super easy to prepare, with very little hands-on time. Team this one up with your favourite vegetable and salad sides.

For best results, marinate the chicken overnight so the flavour can really develop, or if you're short on time, simply pop it straight in the oven after mixing for a delicious and hassle-free meal.

Hope you love this one and as always please let me know if you have any questions.
