Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the juicy baked chicken breasts warm, alongside your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes.
