Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large, resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with a bit of olive oil.
Once marinating is complete, remove the chicken breasts from the refrigerator and arrange them in the prepared baking dish, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken before serving for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately with your favorite sugar-free sides.
