Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 5 Teaspoons (tsp) garlic salt
• 1 Cup cider vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) smoked paprika
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried thyme
• 1 Lemon, zested
• 1 Lemon, juiced
• 2 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) honey
• 1 Pinch fresh parsley, torn

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, black pepper, smoked paprika, dried thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey to create a marinade.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
4. Sprinkle the garlic salt evenly over the marinated chicken breasts.
5. Pour the cider vinegar over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through, with juices running clear. For extra browning, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with torn fresh parsley and serve with your choice of brightly colored sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, to complement the dish's vibrant flavors. Enjoy your Zesty Cider Vinegar Chicken with Garlic Infusion!
