This is an easy, flavorful, and juicy oven-baked chicken thigh recipe with our favorite Mexican-style flavors.

Our family loves to eat Mexican-style meals at least once a week. You can pretty much adapt to every dietary need and individual taste with Mexican food.

I am using chicken thighs because they are affordable and stay juicy after cooking. You can definitely use boneless/skinless chicken thighs or chicken breast. Just keep in mind that the cooking time will vary depending on what parts of the chicken you are cooking.

I like to serve this over cooked rice and sauteed zucchini. Don’t forget to drizzle the yummy juice all over the rice and veggies.

I had leftover chicken meat which I used later as a taco filling and topping for nachos.

I love making this easy and quick recipe for my family for the busy weeknights as I can get this on the table fast.
