Serving suggestion: garnish with some chopped fresh parsley and serve with a side of mixed vegetables and rice.

Tracy loves quick food
Never seen a tasty chicken meal like this with just three ingredients. This recipe is indeed a minimlist meal for busy people or beginners. I like fast meals because of my career factors and have a similar recipe but with 6 ingredients (as you will expect of a Mediterranean tradtional food) and chopped garlic (not powder) but I make that only on ocassions. For all other times, meals such as this quick chicken recipe are my choice.

You have a great site here, thanks for sharing so many healthy recipes. I will definitely give some of them a try.
Confused
Wondering how you calculated the 200 calories per serving? All the sites I visit state that just the thigh is about 185 and that the leg bone in is around the 130 mark? PLease stear me in the right direction

I agree Confused. I do not agree with the calorie count.
Perhaps if it was skinless.

there’s not much calories but the fat grams and other unhealthy facts are very high…not sure if this is a healthy choice…you have to consider other info besides just calories

There’s huge debate over all sorts of theories and reasons why diets work and don’t.

Hi there,
This chicken recipe looks really good and on top of it, healthy as well. I don’t think anyone can ask for more with those two combinations!
I can’t believe that it is only 200 calories as well. I love the soy sauce and garlic powder ingredients. Goes so well with chicken.
Thanks for this recipe and I will be sure to visit your blog often.
Take care
Michael

yummy!! I always like chicken recipe & when I’m commenting on blog your blog I was really so hungry that why I cant control myself. Please give me one…

I made this recipe a couple days ago. I substituted boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of the thighs, and dropped the cooking time by about 20 minutes.
Pretty delicious. Although sodium is ridiculously high in soy sauce – be careful!
For those wondering about the calories and fat, the skin on chicken is where the bulk of the calories come from.

looks very tasty and greasy, but still suitable for consumption at the time of diet. yummy and nice post.

This looks crazily delicious, but isn’t 200 calories a little to small?
