Description
A heartwarming recipe for oven-grilled chicken breasts, seasoned with vibrant herbs and bursting with flavor, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or grill.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon juice, rubbing the mixture in to ensure a delightful burst of flavor.
- For grilled chicken, cook on medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. For baked chicken, place it in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until perfectly tender.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing; this helps retain the juices.
- Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. Serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
Notes
Marinate chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes or overnight for better flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
