2 tablespoon olive oil, divided

4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 teaspoon paprika

4 tablespoon butter, melted

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon, zest + juice (plus additional lemon slices)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
• Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (optional).
In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the prepared lemon butter sauce directly over your chicken breasts. Gently turn to coat and top each chicken breast with 1-2 lemon slices.
Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature registers 160℉ as measured with a digital meat thermometer.
