Portrait - Easy Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (454g) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme (stems removed)

Optional garnishes: additional fresh thyme sprigs, lemon slices 

Instructions:

  1. Pound chicken to ½-inch thickness and cut into four pieces that are equal in size. Transfer to a gallon-size zip-top bag.
  2. To a jar, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, thyme,  and shake well. Pour over the chicken and seal the bag. Shake/move chicken around to fully coat with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 
  3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
  4. Place the chicken breasts with the marinade in the dish and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. 

Notes:

  • This is a great meal prep recipe. Allow any leftovers to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
