Oven-Roasted Garlic Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 lemon, zest and juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking. Place them in a single layer in a baking dish.

3. Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well to form a marinade.

4. Marinate the Chicken
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well coated. Use your hands or a brush to evenly distribute the marinade.

5. Roast in the Oven
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast the chicken for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Final Touch
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure juices are evenly distributed.
