Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them brown better.
  4. Place chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Arrange broccoli florets on a large baking sheet.
  6. Place marinated chicken breasts on top of the broccoli.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
