Italian Parmesan Chicken Thighs are something special! These delicious chicken thighs include several Italian-style herbs along with Parmesan cheese for a coating.They can be oven ready in about five minutes and take about 45 minutes to bake (depending on the thickness of the boneless, skinless chicken thigh filets. The coating is delicious and the chicken thighs cook up wonderfully.

I’ve been pulling meat out of my freezers weekly to cook up for meals. I stocked up earlier and now it’s time to clear them out! I want to get them almost empty by the time October rolls around and I start our Christmas baking for our yearly Christmas Cookie Extravaganza. Last year the freezers were all packed so it was really difficult pulling off baking treats like I usually do.

So I had a couple of packages of Chicken Thighs. One of the packages was made into Spicy Parmesan Chicken Thighs. I used an old recipe I’ve had for years but added Parmesan cheese to the coating. I really enjoyed that recipe. This version uses basil, oregano, chives, parsley and thyme along with salt and pepper. It was a favorite for both my husband and me.

Italian Parmesan Chicken Thighs are really easy to toss together. They are also great with just about any kind of side dish. Plus, it gives you the option of using a less expensive cut of meat but still enjoying big, delicious taste. We loved the way these Chicken Thighs turned out and hope you do too!

I personally prefer chicken thighs over boneless, skinless chicken breasts. But the coating is good on chicken breasts as well. The chicken breasts will take about an hour to cook.
