Preheat oven to 375F.

Add chicken thighs and set aside. In a large measuring cup or bowl mix together olive oil, lemon juice, onion, garlic, thyme and oregano until well combined.
Pour onion mixture over chicken thighs and toss to coat.
Nestle lemon slices around the chicken and season with salt & freshly cracked pepper.

Cover the pan and let chicken sit for 5 minutes and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve on top of rice, making sure to spoon the juices on top.
