A simple and flavorful baked chicken breast recipe with fresh vegetables, perfect for a weeknight dinner. This versatile chicken dish offers a healthy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces Chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 cup Fresh vegetables (carrot, broccoli)

Instructions

  1. Wash the chicken breasts thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Place chicken breasts on a clean board and rub both sides with olive oil.
  3. Mince garlic cloves and mix them in a small bowl with lemon juice, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the seasoning mixture. Marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  6. Place the seasoned chicken on the tray and arrange the vegetables around the sides.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve warm with the roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For juicier flavor, use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
  • Experiment with spices like cumin, chili powder, or curry, and herbs like rosemary or thyme for different flavor profiles.
  • Add honey or soy sauce to the marinade for a sweet and savory balance.
  • For a one-pan meal, add potatoes or zucchini to the baking tray.
  • Grill the chicken instead of baking for a lighter option with less oil.
  • Serve with a fresh green salad, rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.
  • A yogurt-based sauce or garlic aioli can enhance the flavor.
