Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts (approximately 400 to 450 g)

For the marinade

  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil (olive oil in my case)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried, crushed herbs (thyme, rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon organic lemon zest
  • 1 pressed garlic clove or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Flower of salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • In a baking dish, place all the marinade ingredients and mix.
  • Place a chicken breast in a freezer bag or between two sheets of plastic wrap.
    Using a kitchen mallet or a rolling pin placed on a cutting board, flatten the thick side to a thickness of less than 2 cm.
  • Remove the chicken breast and place it in the dish containing the marinade.
    Repeat with each chicken breast.
  • Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/430°F.
  • When the oven is hot, bake for 20 minutes.
    The chicken should be golden brown.
    During cooking, you can baste it with the cooking juices.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven, cover the dish with aluminum foil and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting to keep the juices inside.
