Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with avocado oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Substitute with garlic-infused oil if sensitive to garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 piece lemon, juiced
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather and pre-measure all ingredients for smooth cooking.
- Combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to create the marinade.
- Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in the marinade and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Cooking
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, consider adding a spoonful of Dijon mustard or honey to the marinade. You can grill the chicken instead of baking for an alternative cooking method.
