How to Make Baked Chicken Breasts With Garlic And Oregano

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim excess fat from 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total).
  3. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano over each chicken breast.
  5. Crush 2 cloves of garlic and rub it over each chicken breast.
  6. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the chicken.
  7. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the chicken.
  8. Pour 1/2 cup dry white wine into a 12-inch baking dish.
  9. Place chicken breasts in the baking dish, skin-side down (if using bone-in, skin-on breasts). Marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  10. Bake chicken for 30 minutes.
  11. Turn chicken skin-side up (if applicable). Bake for another 25-35 minutes, basting with pan juices every 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the skin is lightly browned.
  12. Serve immediately with pan juices spooned over the chicken, alongside steamed broccoli and garlicky pasta (recipe below).
  13. **Garlicky Pasta:**
  14. Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions.
  15. While pasta cooks, sauté 4 cloves minced garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil until fragrant.
  16. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
  17. Toss cooked pasta with garlic oil, parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup grated), and parsley (optional).
  18. Serve with the chicken and broccoli.
