Life these days? It’s a whirlwind! My partner, Kyle, coaches a local high school lacrosse team, which means some evenings he rolls in around 7:30 p.m., while other nights it can be as late as 10:00 p.m. or beyond. This definitely spices up our family dinner routine. By “spices up,” I mean it’s quite a challenge. And by “challenge,” I mean sometimes it feels nearly impossible to coordinate.
I’ve been on a mission to whip up meals that the kids and I can enjoy together but that also reheat well for Kyle on those late nights. On days when he’s home a bit earlier, I’ll serve the kids first and then we’ll have our dinner later—though when I say “together,” I really mean me in the living room while he’s in his man cave. I just wanted to clarify that we’re not the candlelight dinner type after the kids are tucked in! Actually, I like to think I’m more of the casual one, while he’s the romantic. It’s a funny little dynamic, but it works for us most of the time.
Here’s a straightforward recipe that reheats beautifully. I love to pair these crispy chicken thighs with creamy buttered mashed potatoes and fresh steamed corn. Delicious!
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and drizzle them generously with olive oil.
- Sprinkle each thigh with garlic salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until the skin turns golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
This dish is not only easy to make, but it also makes for a fantastic meal that you can enjoy later on.
