Chicken Preparation

Side Dish (Optional)

Method

Chicken Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large plastic bag or bowl, and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Bake the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Optional Side Dish (Rice)

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 7

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving alongside the chicken.
