Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure each piece is fully coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes. For more flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Place the marinated chicken breasts in a roasting pan or a lined baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165°F (75°C) with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken before serving to add a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve the baked chicken with your choice of sides. Enjoy your delicious, dairy-free meal!
