Description
A delicious and healthy meal featuring tender chicken breasts marinated in garlic, lemon, and olive oil.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each breast is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate for a longer time, up to 2 hours. Always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
