Method
Preparation
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add Chicken
Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Cooking
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Garnish
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
