Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oregano-Lemon Chicken Bake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give a light greasing to a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Next, gently arrange the chicken breast halves in the dish, making sure they’re spaced out nicely.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the bright and zesty lemon juice, sweet honey, smooth olive oil, minced garlic, and fragrant dried oregano.
Step 4
Whisk these ingredients together until they create a harmonious blend.
Step 5
Now, pour this delightful mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is generously coated for maximum flavor.
Step 6
Place the dish in your preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes.
Step 7
You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 8
For the best results, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the thickest part of the chicken reaches 180°F (80°C).
Step 9
To keep your chicken juicy and bursting with flavor, remember to baste it with the pan juices every 15 minutes during baking.
Step 10
This little step makes a big difference! Enjoy the delicious aroma filling your kitchen as you await a wonderfully tender and flavorful chicken dish.
