Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 4
Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature. For more flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth into the dish around the chicken to help keep it moist.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the juicy baked chicken breasts with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables or rice.
