Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Discard any remaining marinade.
Step 5
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
