2. Keto Lemon Herb Baked Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried thyme,
dried rosemary, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them.
Ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 20
minutes, or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear
them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
5. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for
about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of
165°F (74°C).
6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish
with fresh parsley before serving.
