Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated.

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for best results.

3. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. Bake the Chicken:

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center.

If you like a bit of caramelization, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, but watch it closely to prevent burning.

5. Serve:

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.

Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad
