Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate. For best results, marinate for 2-4 hours.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Discard the remaining marinade.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 22-27 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your marinated baked chicken breasts with your choice of side dishes like rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
