Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts in a large, shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the chicken breasts over several times to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to an hour if time allows.
Step 6
Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
