Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler on high.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour if time allows.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, then place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Step 5
Position the marinated chicken breasts on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 7
Broil the chicken for approximately 7 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use tongs to flip the chicken halfway through cooking.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.
Step 9
Garnish the broiled chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
