Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the herb marinade over the chicken and ensure each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, refrigerate, and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for extra flavor.
Once marinated, transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
