Easy Chicken Dinner with Lemon Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 cup steamed broccoli (optional)
• 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
3. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
4. Pour the chicken broth into the baking dish around the chicken, then cover it with aluminum foil.
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. Remove the foil and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to give the chicken a golden finish.
7. While the chicken is baking, steam the broccoli until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Serve the chicken over cooked rice or quinoa, topped with the pan juices and garnished with fresh parsley, alongside the steamed broccoli.
