Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 to 2 pounds total)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, and stir well.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to intensify the flavor.
  4. Place the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken.
  5. Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven. It is done when the internal temperature reaches 75 degrees Celsius and the meat looks juicy.
  6. After baking, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep the juices in the meat.
  7. Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley and decorate with lemon slices if desired. Enjoy!

Nutrition

Keywords: Be careful not to marinate the chicken too long, as it can become too salty. 15-30 minutes is optimal. For even cooking, ensure the chicken breasts are of similar thickness. A meat thermometer can help ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked.
