- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Place them in a shallow baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil and lemon juice.
Finely chop the garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Combine the chopped herbs, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika in a separate bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
Evenly sprinkle the herb mixture over the chicken breasts, pressing lightly so the herbs adhere.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the chicken moist.
