Ingredients

• 2 lemons, juiced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 3 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.5 cup bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Arrange chicken breasts in a large baking dish. Pour water, olive oil, and lemon juice over chicken; sprinkle with bread crumbs, garlic powder, parsley, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and cut a few slits in foil to vent.

Step 3

Bake chicken breasts in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
