Whole30 Chicken Recipe with Lemon and Garlic

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well blended.
3. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around them.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. In the last 5 minutes of baking, add the fresh spinach on top of the chicken and tomatoes to wilt.
7. Once done, remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
