A delightful and easy-to-make chicken recipe with a zesty lemon flavor, perfect for a healthy and quick meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Cut the lemons into thin slices and set aside.
Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
Lay out four sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap each chicken breast.
Ensure the foil sheets are large enough to fold over the chicken completely.
Place one chicken breast on each sheet of foil.
Center the chicken on the foil for even cooking.
Drizzle olive oil over each chicken breast.
This helps keep the chicken moist and adds flavor.
Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, black pepper, parsley, and oregano evenly over the chicken.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Top each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of lemon.
The lemon slices infuse the chicken with a fresh citrus flavor.
Fold the foil over the chicken to create a sealed packet.
Ensure the packets are sealed tightly to trap the steam.
Place the foil packets in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
Check for doneness by ensuring the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of the hot steam, and serve the chicken with your favorite sides.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
