Lemon herb chicken breasts

Ingredients

• 4 large chicken breasts (skinless + boneless)

For the lemon herb marinade

• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• zest of 1 lemon
• 3 garlic cloves crushed
• 1 tsp oregano
• 2 tsp dried mixed herbs
• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp chilli/red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp salt

1. Place the chicken breasts between two layers of parchment/baking paper and flatten out slightly with a meat mallet/rolling pin.
2. Whisk together the marinade ingredients.
3. Place the chicken in a glass container and pour over the marinade. Mix to make sure the chicken is well-coated then cover and allow to marinade for at least 20 minutes but up to 24 hours, refrigerated.
4. To cook the chicken breasts, heat a skillet, pan or grill then add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until cooked through but still juicy.
5. Remove from the heat and cover with foil, allowing the chicken to rest for at 5-10 minutes before serving.
