This one pan, roasted basil chicken is an easy meal that’s bursting with flavor. Red onions and sliced kumquats become deliciously sweet when roasted and provide a vibrant pop of color.Quality matters with all ingredients. But I find that you can really taste the difference when it comes to olive oil. Enough trips to Italy have taught me that! Thankfully, the intense, full-bodied flavor of this olive oil is great for melding all the unique flavors of this basil chicken recipe into one delicious dish.
Ingredients4 chicken thighs
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup kumquats, sliced
1 red onion, sliced into wedges
1 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper
fresh basil, for garnish
Method
* Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
* Place the chicken thighs, sliced kumquats and red onion in a cast iron or oven safe dish and drizzle with olive oil.
* Use your fingers to ensure eveything is coated in oil, including both sides of the chicken. Then, place the kumquats and red onion around the chicken.
* Sprinkle the chicken with the dried basil, salt and pepper.
* Cook for 40-50 minutes or until cooked through.
* If you'd like the top of the chicken more golden, turn the top broiler on for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
