Oven-Roasted Lemon Paprika Chicken

Ingredients

- 4 chicken breasts, skin-on, bone-in
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).

2. Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon zest. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Season the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Drizzle the marinade over the chicken, using your hands or a brush to evenly coat each piece.

4. Add Lemon Juice
Squeeze the lemon juice over the seasoned chicken, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

5. Marinate
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature. For more flavor, you can marinate it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

6. Roast the Chicken
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast the chicken for about 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

7. Rest the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful chicken.

8. Serve
Plate the chicken breasts and garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your meal!
