Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish or pan. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken to keep it moist while baking.
Step 5
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Step 6
Bake for 20 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
