Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh finely chopped parsley or 1 tbsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Mix oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, pepper, garlic powder and parsley in a small mixing bowl
- Add chicken breast to an oven-safe dish - I used a casserole dish
- Pour lemon-herb mixture over the chicken and toss the chicken to coat
- Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake at 400F for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts
- After 30 minutes test the temperature of the chicken with an instant-read thermometer - the thickest part of the breast should read at least 165F
- When the chickens' internal temp reads 165F remove the casserole dish from the oven
- Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Store chicken with any excess juices to keep it moist
