How To Make Quick & Easy Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

• 4x Boneless chicken breasts


• 1/4 cup olive oil


• ½ cup of dry white wine


• 1 tbsp brown sugar


• 2 tsp dried oregano


• 2 tsp dried thyme


• 2 tsp garlic powder


• ½ black pepper


• 2 tsp salt


• 2 tsp minced garlic (6 cloves)


• 1 tbsp lemon zest (2 lemons)


• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Method

1.  First, heat the oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit/ 180 degrees Celcius.


2. Make sure the chicken breasts are at room temperature and then place them in a baking dish.


3.  As the oven is warming up, take a small bowl where you will make
   the marinade. Mix the olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder as well
   as salt and pepper in the bowl. The paste must be quite thick as this
   will ultimately be what you marinate the chicken breast in and you want
   it to be rich in flavor. Next, once the mixture is completely blended
   together, you will then coat the chicken breasts with the paste. Be sure
   that the marinade is spread evenly!


4. Now, in the same mixing bowl, take the white wine, brown sugar,
   fresh, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice as well as 1 teaspoon of
   salt. Thoroughly mix all these ingredients together before pouring them
   over the chicken breasts. All in all, the chicken should have a thick
   and delicious coat of sauce – now it’s baking time!


5.  Place the baking dish into the oven for roughly 30 minutes or until
   it is completely cooked. However, you do not want to dry out the
   chicken.


6. Remove the dish from the oven and then it’s time to dig in


7. You will instantly be able to taste the tangy flavors that will definitely tickle all your tastebuds.
