Easy Mediterranean Baked Lemon Chicken Recipe Is Divinely Refreshing

Lemon, olive oil, garlic and oregano pack these chicken breasts with extraordinary flavor. This easy Mediterranean chicken recipe is on the table in about 30 minutes and is the perfect addition to your healthy eating plans. 

Boneless chicken breasts are baked in the oven in olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, white wine, fresh garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. The chicken only needs to bake about 20 minutes, though this will depend on your oven and the thickness of the chicken breasts. 

Serve this lemon chicken recipe with rice to soak up the lemony pan sauce and a fresh vegetable or salad. Dinner is done. Shred the leftovers and use in a chicken salad or main dish salad for lunch or dinner the next day.
