Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup low sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and half of the chopped parsley. 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 all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the low sodium chicken broth around the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley before serving.
