Instructions

Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breast in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Pour in 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons lemon pepper, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Seal the bag and shake it a bit so that all the chicken gets covered.

Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a 9x13 pan. Discard any remaining marinade. Place 1 large lemon of slices on top.

Cook chicken for 18-20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Serve hot. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional).
