Garlic & Herb Tomato Chicken Thighs

Garlic & Herb Tomato Chicken Thighs

This is a flavorful and aromatic dish that brings together the richness of tomato paste with the depth of fresh herbs and garlic. The chicken thighs are coated with a savory tomato paste mixture infused with minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, and olive oil. As the chicken bakes, the tomato paste caramelizes, creating a delicious, slightly tangy crust while keeping the meat juicy and tender. The herbs and garlic enhance the savory flavor, making every bite a perfect balance of earthy and bright notes. Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a wholesome, satisfying meal.
