Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the chicken with the mixture for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, add chicken broth (if using), and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a side of roasted vegetables or rice.

Notes

For an extra punch of flavor, add a splash of white wine to the marinade.
Pairs perfectly with tzatziki sauce or Greek salad.
Use bone-in chicken for juicier results.
