Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups lemon juice
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dill weed
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, dill weed, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable freezer bag.
Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and gently massage the chicken to evenly distribute the marinade.
If cooking later, label the bag with the recipe name and date, then freeze. If cooking immediately, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
To cook, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the marinated chicken and any excess marinade in a baking dish, arranging the pieces in a single layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
If you froze the chicken, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
