For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the mushroom sauce while it simmers. Ensure the chicken is fully submerged in the lemon juice brine for optimal flavor infusion. If you don't have rosemary garlic seasoning, you can substitute with a mix of dried rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, salt, rosemary garlic seasoning, and oregano. Add chicken thighs and enough water to cover. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. (4+ hours)
02
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking dish with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)
03
StepSpread half of the lemon slices in the baking dish. Arrange chicken thighs over the lemon slices, then top with the remaining lemon slices. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30-40 minutes)
05
StepWhile the chicken bakes, melt light butter with olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried lemon peel. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and softened. (5-8 minutes)
06
StepIn a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine chicken stock and flour. Shake vigorously until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms.
07
StepIncrease heat to medium-high. Simmer the mushroom sauce, stirring frequently, until thickened. (10 minutes)
08
StepServe the succulent baked lemon chicken thighs with the creamy mushroom sauce.
