Easy Loaf Pan Chicken
Directions
- 1Add 2.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs to a large bowl.
- 2Process 1 medium yellow onion in a food processor. Add it to the chicken.
- 3Add the juice of 1 large lemon, 3 tbsp tomato paste, & 2 tbsp plain or greek yogurt.
- 4Add 3-4 pinches salt, fresh cracked pepper, 1.5 tbsp thyme, 1.5 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp urfa pepper (or Aleppo pepper or any other chili flakes).
- 5Mix well, and ideally let this marinate for 2-6 hrs, but even better overnight.
- 6Preheat your oven to 425F. Remove chicken from the fridge and let it come up to room temp (about 30 mins) before placing in the oven.
- 7Pack the marinated chicken tightly into a loaf pan (my measurements were 8.5x4.5x2.5). Place in the oven for 50 mins.
- 8Remove the chicken from the oven, gently tilt the pan into a glass jar to remove the excess juices. Pour the juices over the chicken, then repeat. Set juices aside and use for soups.
- 9Flip loaf pan onto a cutting board and cut chicken into thin slices or strips.
- 10Serve however way you want.
