Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken pieces to maintain moisture during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). To enhance browning, you may broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.
Serve the baked chicken warm along with your favorite low carb sides, such as roasted vegetables or a mixed green salad.
