Lemon Oregano Chicken
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking dish by coating it with a generous amount of cooking spray or butter. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and releases from the dish with ease.
3
Now, place the chicken breast halves into the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
4
To create the marinade, whisk together freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and dried oregano in a bowl until well combined. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, making sure they are fully coated.
5
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and let it cook for approximately 45 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in its center and the juices run clear. To check for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the thickest part of a breast and verify that it reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
6
Every 15 minutes, baste the chicken with the pan juices that have accumulated at the bottom of the baking dish. This will help keep the chicken moist and add flavor to the dish.
