Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board, and if they are thick, pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin to even out their thickness for uniform cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well blended.
Step 4
Rub the herb and garlic mixture generously over all sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 5
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or mashed potatoes.
