Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a creamy marinade.
Step 5
Rub the marinade generously over both sides of the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step will lock in the flavors.
Step 7
Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over the top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (if desired) and serve hot with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh garden salad.
