Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh finely chopped parsley or 1 tbsp dried parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F
  • Mix oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, pepper, garlic powder and parsley in a small mixing bowl
  • Add chicken breast to an oven-safe dish - I used a casserole dish
  • Pour lemon-herb mixture over the chicken and toss the chicken to coat
  • Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake at 400F for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts
  • After 30 minutes test the temperature of the chicken with an instant-read thermometer - the thickest part of the breast should read at least 165F
  • When the chickens' internal temp reads 165F remove the casserole dish from the oven
  • Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Store chicken with any excess juices to keep it moist
