Roast Chicken Thighs with Meyer Lemon and Smoked Paprika: Meaty chicken thighs boast a deep orange color, roasting atop a succulent bed of red onion and sliced Meyer lemon.

Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, about 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) total
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Spice Rub:
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pimentón de la Vera (Spanish smoked paprika)
1 Meyer lemon (or navel orange), ends removed, then thinly sliced
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced from stem to root
24 green olives (optional)

Instructions

Add chicken, lettuce, corn, black beans and onion to a large salad bowl. Toss gently to combine. Portion into 4 wide flat bowls, or onto large plates.
Sprinkle each salad with avocado and tomato (these are more fragile and are damaged by tossing). Sprinkle with cheese. Drizzle each salad with about 1 tablespoon dressing (more if you like).
Serves 4.
