Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Ensure each strip is well covered with the herb mixture.
Let the chicken strips marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Arrange the marinated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the chicken strips in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken strips rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
