Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sprigs fresh oregano sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor).
Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to a baking dish, pouring any remaining marinade over the top.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs, if desired, and serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh Greek salad.
