Tender and flavorful oven baked chicken thighs seasoned with garlic and herbs, browned in a skillet, and baked alongside savory mushrooms. Top it off with sweet and tangy balsamic glaze and some fresh basil for a simple, 30-minute meal that will wow!

Chicken thighs are my new favorite cut of chicken. They cook up so tender, and are really tasty and versatile. One of my favorite chicken thigh recipes is this oven roasted balsamic chicken thigh recipe. So juicy, tangy (thanks balsamic!), and cooked to perfection, I really can’t say enough about the way this roasted chicken will change your dinners for the better! 

Chicken thighs — Of course, I realize this roasted chicken recipe specifically calls for chicken thighs but it truly is what makes this preparation really stand out. In a pinch, you could use chicken breasts, but the dark meat of the chicken thighs goes so well with the tangy sweetness of the balsamic glaze. 

Mushrooms — I know not everyone loves mushrooms but hear me out: You need to make mushrooms with this oven roasted chicken thigh recipe. Those soft, meaty baby bella mushrooms soak up all the baked chicken thigh juices as well as the balsamic glaze and just taste so out-of-this-world delicious! 

So easy — This chicken thigh recipe isn’t only tasty but it’s also so easy! It only takes 30 minutes total to get this balsamic chicken dish on your plate and that includes making the balsamic glaze too! 

Simple ingredients — Chicken thighs are sold at every meat department in just about every grocery store (and they’re very budget-friendly, too), and the rest of the ingredients are super simple to come by too. In fact, you may already have most of the ingredients in your pantry or fridge right now.

For these Oven Baked Balsamic Chicken Thighs, it indicates 674 calories. Is that per thigh or for the entire recipe? It seems a lot for just one thigh.

Per serving! This is intended to serve 6.

Made this tonight. Excellent! I threw in a few breasts for my wife.

I personally prefer skin off.

Our family enjoyed this recipe a lot. We doubled the chicken and seasonings, but only had enough balsamic vinegar to double the sauce. Thankfully it was plenty. Also, if you don’t pre-brown the thighs, they will need more than 15 minutes in the oven even with broiling them at the end. The mushrooms were especially delicious. 🙂
