Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch wide strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, freshly ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the herb marinade.

Step 4

Pour the herb marinade over the chicken strips. Add the lemon juice and toss the chicken strips well until all the pieces are evenly coated in the marinade.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are evenly spaced for proper roasting.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken strips are cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure doneness.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the chicken strips rest for 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the chicken strips before serving for added freshness and color.

Step 9

Serve the herb-roasted chicken strips with your choice of heart-healthy side dishes like steamed vegetables or a side salad.
