Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking Dish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, then cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, for best flavor.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. For a golden finish, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  4. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve this lemon garlic chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. The marinade can be made ahead of time for quicker preparation on busy weeknights.
