Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup low sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the low sodium chicken broth around the chicken.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley before serving.
