Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 heads Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic and wrap each head in aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden.

Step 3

While the garlic roasts, prepare the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the soft cloves out of their skins into a small bowl. Mash the roasted garlic with a fork, then mix it with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the lemon juice.

Step 5

Spread the roasted garlic mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 6

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish, and tuck the rosemary sprigs around the chicken.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides.
