Ingredients
- 11⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3⁄4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil- I substituted for 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1⁄4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 medium organic lemons, washed and thinly sliced
- 3 lbs bone-in, skinless chicken breasts (usually 4 to 6 pieces)- NOTE: I used BONELESS instead and it worked fine!
- parsley for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Begin by combining salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, cumin and olive oil until well mixed.
- Wash lemons and thinly slice.
- Place chicken breasts bone side down in a glass baking dish. Evenly coat with spice mixture and then top with lemon slices.
- Bake uncovered for 50 to 55 minutes until chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165F. Remove the chicken breasts from the baking dish to a serving platter. Collect the pan juices and serve alongside the chicken as a sauce. Top chicken with a bit of chopped parley, Serve and Enjoy!
