Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Place chicken breasts in the baking dish. Pour the herb mixture over the chicken, turning to coat evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the herb mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
Serve with roasted vegetables or a side salad.
Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
