Dinner Tonight: Baked Chicken Thighs w/ Asparagus Medley, Rice, and Baked Harvest Grain Bread

I laid 3 Chicken Thighs in the fridge overnight to thaw. I've been wanting some Chicken Thighs so tonight I prepared Baked Chicken Thighs w/ Asparagus Medley, Rice, and Baked Harvest Grain Bread.





To prepare the Chicken Thighs I placed them in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. You can sprinkle the chicken thighs with whatever seasonings you like such as Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, thyme or rosemary and garlic, I used Rosemary, Thyme, Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and Garlic Powder. Covered with foil and baked for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. Then removed the foil and continued cooking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken thigh reached 165 degrees F. Good, simple, and quick way to prepare some tasty Chicken Thighs.





For a side dish to go with my Chicken Thighs I prepared a new dish, Asparagus Medley. Nothing but good things in this one! It's got Asparagus (Trimmed), 2 Sweet Peppers (Red or Yellow) Julienned, 1/4 cup fresh sliced Mushrooms, 1/2 small can of Sliced Black Olives (Drained), 1/2 Garlic Clove (Minced), 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1/4 tsp. Minced fresh Parsley, and seasoned with Sea Salt, Pepper, Lemon-Pepper, and Dill Weed to taste. You know me the easier to prepare the better and this one is easy!  In a bowl add and combine the vegetables, Olives, and Garlic, drizzle with Oil and toss to coat. Then sprinkle with the Parsley, Salt, Pepper, Lemon- Pepper, and Dill Weed; to taste. Then just Saute in a skillet or wok over medium heat until all vegetables are crisp tender; and serve. This turned out to be one fine and healthy side dish! The Asparagus was nice and crisp, the Peppers added great flavor and crunch, and the seasoning was spot on. Good Keeper recipe.





I also baked a Loaf of Kroger Bakery Harvest Grain Bread. For dessert later a Dole Mini Banana and perhaps some Apple Slices.
