Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Step 6
Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the juicy baked chicken breasts warm, alongside your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes.
