Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large, shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the chicken breasts over several times to ensure they are evenly coated.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to an hour if time allows.
Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
