Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips approximately 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are completely coated in the marinade.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes. For deeper flavor infusion, consider marinating for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Arrange the marinated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (73°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or add them to salads, wraps, or grain bowls for a satisfying meal.
