Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them on a cutting board.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic cloves, juice of the lemon, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve with Sides

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes if desired.
