Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish or pan. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken to keep it moist while baking.
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
