instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the Italian dressing, mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to create a marinade.

    3

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors.

    4

    Place the marinated chicken thighs in a baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.

    5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius) and is no longer pink inside.

    6

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
