Ingredients

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lemon zest

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well incorporated.

Add the bite-sized pieces of chicken breast to the bowl and toss them in the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to an hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

Spread the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra zest.
