Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create a marinade.

  4. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes to keep the chicken moist.
  5. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to brown slightly.
  6. Once cooked through and juices run clear, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
