Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine smoked paprika, cayenne, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Add garlic, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and avocado oil.

Toss chicken thighs until evenly coated.

Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Bake the Chicken (Health-Conscious Method)

Note: The original Chicken with Cilantro Sauce recipe calls for pan-frying the chicken. This version is baked for a lighter option.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place marinated chicken thighs in a baking dish.

Bake for 35 minutes, or until cooked through.

Broil for the final 5 minutes to add color and crisp edges.

Remove from oven and let rest.

Make the Cilantro Sauce

Add Greek yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey to a blender.

Blend until smooth and vibrant green.

Serve

Plate the baked chicken with cilantro sauce spooned over the top or on the side.

Serve with green beans and warm corn tortillas. #chickenwithcilantrosauce #cilantrorecipes #bakedchicken #healthycomfortfood #thatbrandendude | Branden Ehia
