Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Whisk together until well-blended.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal or cover, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Slice the chicken, garnish with parsley and lemon slices, and serve.
