Mediterranean Baked Chicken Recipe
Mediterranean Baked Chicken Recipe
This recipe combines a simple baked chicken method with Mediterranean flavors. Feel free to customize the seasonings to your liking.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed or finely chopped
- 1 ⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- 1. Brine the chicken (optional): Brining is highly recommended for juicy chicken. If your chicken isn't pre-brined, mix 1/4 cup kosher salt with 2 cups lukewarm water until dissolved, then add 2 cups cold water. Submerge the chicken breasts for 15 minutes, rinse with cold water, and pat dry.
- 2. Preheat oven: Heat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- 3. Season the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and brush with melted butter or olive oil. In a separate bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, parsley, garlic, and oregano. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.
- 4. Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- 5. Rest: Transfer the chicken to a clean plate, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Mediterranean Flavor Enhancements
To infuse your baked chicken with Mediterranean flavors, consider these options:
- Marinade: Marinate chicken breasts in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, oregano, and paprika for at least 20 minutes, or up to two days in the refrigerator.
- Topping: During the last few minutes of baking, top the chicken with sliced tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.

Here are several side dishes that pair well with Mediterranean baked chicken:
- Greek Salad: Combine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta cheese with a zesty vinaigrette.

- Yellow Rice: Seasoned with turmeric and saffron.
- Roasted Baby Potatoes: Drizzled with olive oil, sea salt, and rosemary.
