Easy Italian baked chicken breast, flavored with a simple spice mixture along with fresh garlic and olive oil, and finished with parsley and fresh basil.

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

salt and pepper, to taste

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

2 tsp oregano

1 tsp fresh thyme (from 2 springs of thyme)

1 tsp paprika

4 garlic cloves minced

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oils

1/2 juice of lemon

1 medium red onion halved and thinly sliced

6 cherry tomatoes

1 handful chopped fresh parsley for garnish

1 fresh basil leaves for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Pat chicken dry. Place a chicken breast in a large zip-top bag and zip the top (make sure to release any air in the bag first), then place it on your poultry cutting board. Using a meat mallet like this one, pound to flatten the chicken. Remove from zip-top bag and reuse bag and mallet to repeat the process with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
