Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler in your oven and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and paprika. This will be the marinade for the chicken.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 4
Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you prepare the broiler pan.
Step 5
Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place the broiler rack on top.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place it on the broiler rack.
Step 7
Broil the chicken for about 12 minutes on one side, until it has a nice brown color.
Step 8
Flip the chicken breasts and broil the other side for an additional 12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy your flavorful, low sodium broiled chicken!
