- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large lemon thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley (optional)
Description
-
Place chicken breasts in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Pour in lemon juice, olive oil, lemon pepper, basil, oregano, and salt. Shake it a bit so that all the chicken gets covered.
-
Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a 9×13 pan. Discard any remaining marinade. Place lemon slices on top.

Cook chicken for 18-20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Serve hot. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional)
Quick 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.
