Greek-Inspired Baked Chicken Breast

Greek-Inspired Baked Chicken Breast



Ingredients

- 3 lbs chicken, cut into parts (boneless, skinless breast or thigh works particularly well)
- zest of 1 lemon
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano (or substitute 3 Tbsp fresh oregano)
- 1/4 tsp salt to taste
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin coconut oil (or substitute butter or ghee) plus a little extra for greasing the pan


1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease the bottom of a large casserole dish or deep roasting pan.
2. Pat chicken dry with paper towel and place in the prepared casserole dish.
3. Combine lemon zest, garlic, oregano, and salt. Melt coconut oil and mix with spices. Pour over chicken and mix to coat (this is easiest using your hands).
4. Arrange chicken in a single layer and bake for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked.
5. Optional: drizzle fresh lemon juice over the chicken before eating.
6. Enjoy!
