Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 kipfilets
- 3 eetlepels olijfolie
- 2 teentjes knoflook, geperst
- 1 eetlepel paprikapoeder
- 1 eetlepel gedroogde oregano
- Zout en peper naar smaak
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, pressed garlic, paprika powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
- Place the chicken fillets in the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken, covering all surfaces evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For more intense flavor, you can marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.
- Arrange the chicken fillets in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are not overlapping. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices and ensures the meat remains tender.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or accompanied by a side of roasted vegetables or salad.
Tips
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: For the best results, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you have time, letting it sit for up to 4 hours will enhance the flavors even more.
- Room Temperature Chicken: Before baking, let the marinated chicken sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This helps ensure even cooking and a juicy texture.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking dish with parchment paper not only prevents sticking but also makes cleanup a breeze!
- Check Internal Temperature: To ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F) for safe consumption.
- Let it Rest: After baking, allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender and flavorful.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your dish by garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, and consider serving it alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
