Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 unit lemon, juiced
- 1 unit lemon, zested
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well to form a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it covers each piece thoroughly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
- Once marinated, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Cooking
- Spread the marinated chicken evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- For a golden finish, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with your choice of sides.

Notes
For the best results, marinate the chicken longer and ensure it's at room temperature before cooking. Use fresh herbs for more flavor, and feel free to grill for a smoky taste.
