Two-Serving Greek-Style Chicken

You Need This Stuff

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Do This With That Stuff

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Using a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast into 4 equal-sized pieces.
  4. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix until ingredients are well combined.
  5. Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the olive oil mixture over them. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the mixture.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the chicken pieces out on it in an even layer.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from oven and transfer to a serving plate or platter.
  9. Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken pieces and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving warm. Enjoy!
