Baked-Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon paprika for added color and flavor

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Chicken:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on a cutting board.
2. Seasoning the Chicken:
  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well to create a paste.
  • Rub the herb paste generously over both sides of the chicken breasts. Ensure they are evenly coated for optimal flavor.
3. Arranging the Chicken:
  • Take a baking dish and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the baking dish, skin-side up, with some space between each piece.
  • Tuck lemon slices underneath and around the chicken breasts for added flavor. Squeeze some lemon juice over the chicken.
