Sometimes, when I think about that fact that my mom made us a home cooked meal for dinner almost every night of my childhood (and sometimes even now) my mind is blown. Thinking up and making something for dinner every night is the hardest part of adulting, I believe.

For me, simplicity is the name of the game. That is why I like this recipe for smoked paprika chicken thighs so much. It's simple, requires very few dishes, and the best part? It tastes so yummy! As you can see from my photo collage, I paired my smoked paprika chicken thighs with rice, corn, and strawberries. (Colorful dinner plates are the name of the game guys.) You can mix it up however you like.

PH loves chicken and rice and Friday was his birthday, so I thought these smoked paprika chicken thighs would be a great and tasty variation on a theme. I was right. The chicken thighs were moist and flavorful.

So, without further ado, here is your recipe for smoked paprika baked chicken thighs so you can have something to make for dinner tonight.
