You take an ordinary chicken and easily transform it into an irresistible flavorful dish with only a few ingredients. This is a simple healthy one-pan baked recipe for you all to try and fall in love with!
Lemon is one of my favorite things to add on food. For the past 5 years, every single morning, without skipping one day, I take this powerful morning shot. There are a lot of benefits of adding lemon in your food. Lemons are an excellent source of Vitamin C which improves the immune system, stimulate the digestions and add an special flavor in the food.
Adding aromatic herbs such as dill to chicken is a great way to boost the dish’s flavor without adding more calories. Removing chicken fat and skin is another way to cut calories without sacrificing taste much!! 🙂
Ingredients:
• 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika

5 – Bake the chicken breasts for about 30 minutes;
