Easy Healthy Baked Lemon Chicken

This HEALTHY BAKED LEMON CHICKEN is a fan-favourite! With an easy to make lemon sauce full of flavour you’ll get tender chicken breasts that are delicious and healthy.

Here's the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

For the chicken:

4 chicken breasts

salt & pepper

4 lemon slices

For the lemon sauce:

juice from one lemon

1/4 cup olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp dried rosemary

1/4 tsp chili flakes

1/2 tsp coarse salt

ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 400F and set aside a baking dish.

2. Make the sauce: mix together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, chili flakes, salt & pepper. Set aside.

3. Season each side of chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Then, add 1 tbsp olive oil to a frying pan and turn the heat to medium-high.

4. Once the frying pan is hot, add chicken breasts to the pan and brown on both sides by cooking for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat once browned and transfer to a baking dish.

5. Pour the lemon sauce over chicken breasts, moving them around the baking dish a bit to make sure sauce gets under the chicken too. Put a lemon slice on top of each chicken breast.

6. Bake 22-25 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through). Serve with grains and greens, drizzle sauce from the baking dish on top of chicken.
