Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board, and if they are thick, pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin to even out their thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well blended.
Rub the herb and garlic mixture generously over all sides of the chicken breasts.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or mashed potatoes.
