A quick and flavorful way to prepare tender and moist chicken breasts with a delightful marinade of garlic, honey, and lemon juice.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (500g) skinless and boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 – 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 dashes ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F (207°C).
  2. Pat dry the boneless chicken breasts with paper towels.
  3. Score the bottom of each chicken breast lightly.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub it all over.
  5. Combine honey, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and apply to the chicken. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
  6. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165° F (74°C).
  8. Broil for 1-2 minutes until slightly charred.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to retain its juices.
