Instructions

  1. Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Pour in 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons lemon pepper, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Seal the bag and shake it a bit so that all the chicken gets covered.
  2. Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a 9x13 pan. Discard any remaining marinade. Place 1 large lemon of slices on top.
  5. Cook chicken for 18-20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Serve hot. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional).

Notes

  • If you want to add a little color to your chicken breast, once they are done baking, switch the setting on your oven to broil. Allow the chicken to broil for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly browned.
