Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approx. 7 oz each)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure the oil mixture adheres and promotes even browning.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Apply the garlic rosemary mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute.
