Oven-Roasted Za'atar Chicken Breasts
Description
This tender and juicy za'atar-marinated chicken gets an extra dose of za'atar seasoning right before being roasted in the oven. Serve with couscous or roasted potatoes.
Ingredients
•
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•
3 tablespoons za'atar seasoning, divided
•
2 tablespoons lemon juice
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
•
1 clove garlic, minced
•
cooking spray
•
salt to taste
Directions
1
Pound chicken breasts to a 1-inch thickness for even cooking. Place in a large resealable plastic bag.
2
Combine 2 tablespoons za'atar seasoning, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour mixture over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
3
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
4
Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining za'atar seasoning.
5
Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 23 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with salt.
