- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush or pour the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the chicken moist during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
