Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well-blended.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This will allow the chicken to cook evenly.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place each breast on the wire rack, discarding any leftover marinade.
Broil the chicken in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is browned and slightly charred around the edges.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or serve with your preferred side dish. Enjoy your dairy-free broiled chicken!
