So the easiest organic protein for me to get is Costco chicken. They do have thighs but I never think to get them. Therefore ... another chicken recipe!
Looking around, I found nomnompaleo's
Green Chicken.
It's a sauce / marinade made with a ton of green herbs:
1 medium sweet onion, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 cup packed cilantro leaves and stems
1 1/4 cups packed basil leaves
1/4 cup packed mint leaves
4 tablespoons of Red Boat fish sauce
3 peeled garlic cloves
zest of 1 lime
plenty ground black pepper
1 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper
2 tablespoons of apple juice (or 1 teaspoon of maple syrup if you’re not on a Whole30)
Kosher salt
This is for 4-6 people, so I halved it and it was still a lot.
I used pineapple juice vs apple. This was my error.
I didn't realize how acidic this the juice was and I marinaded the chicken for a while. Sad.
1. Onions and Garlic on the bottom (just like the nomnom's). This was also an error. I thought it was too oniony. I should have added them at the or halved this amount and then added to taste.

| This is half a medium sweet onion ... it was too much. |
2. All my greens! Washed and dried. So good!
 |
| I got the basil and mint from my garden! |
3. Zest, zest, zest.
 |
| Lemon was from my aunt's garden! |
4. Not as pretty as nomnom's but hey it worked.
 |
| It was green but not as green as nomnom's. :( |
5. Into the oven.
 |
| I added a bit of extra on top |
6. The end result. It was OK. Again, too much acid and it turned out a bit mushy. Perhaps this is meant for dark meat only.
 |
| It was yummy, a little extra minty for my taste. |
