Preparing Baked Greek Lemon Chicken is straightforward with a step-by-step approach. Follow these instructions for a mouthwatering experience:

1. Combine Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor).
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5. Arrange Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and place it in the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature should reach at least 165°F or 74°C).
7. Broil for Finish: For a golden finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-5 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
8. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh parsley and garnish with lemon slices just before serving.

Each step is designed to ensure you achieve maximum flavor and tenderness in your Baked Greek Lemon Chicken.
