Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• cooking spray
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons za'atar seasoning, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pound chicken breasts to a 1-inch thickness for even cooking. Place in a large resealable plastic bag.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining za'atar seasoning.
