Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 as needed cooking spray
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, chopped thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place it into the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve warm garnished with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
