Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to help the spices stick better.
- In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the mixture.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced red onions until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the seasoned chicken in a baking dish. Top with the sautéed red onions.
Cooking
- Bake the chicken for about 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through (meat thermometer should read 165°F/75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.
Notes
For more flavor, let the chicken marinate in the olive oil mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
