Chicken Marinade
Baking
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any residual bacteria.

Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Coat the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a zip-lock bag. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
