Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Rub the olive oil and spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the green sauce. In a food processor or blender, combine 1 cup of fresh cilantro, 0.5 cup of fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 2 garlic cloves, and 0.5 teaspoon of red chili flakes.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the chicken and serve with a generous drizzle of green sauce over the top. Enjoy your Whole30-compliant meal!
