Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme. Whisk in the olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a zesty marinade. Place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over. Seal the bag or cover the dish, letting the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Allow the marinated chicken to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the pieces onto a prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once baked, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite sides.

Notes
Let the chicken marinate for longer for more flavor. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
