A delightful and easy-to-make roasted chicken breast recipe infused with aromatic herbs and spices.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken using a basting brush.
Coat the chicken evenly to help the seasoning stick.
Sprinkle the paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the chicken.
Rub the seasoning into the chicken for better flavor.
Add minced garlic and chopped parsley on top of the chicken.
Distribute the herbs and garlic evenly for consistent flavor.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken.
Roll the lemon before cutting to extract more juice.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
