Here’s a super easy and healthy marinade using The Lebanese Plate's Zataar Baladi. 

The unique aromatic and tangy taste of the zataar marinade pairs beautifully with your baked chicken.

 

This recipe can also be used with other chicken pieces or even a whole chicken too. 

What you'll need:

3 - 4 breast fillet pieces (approx. 1kg)

1 tablesppon zataar

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

Juice & zest of 1/2 lemon

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC
  2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl to create a paste
  3. Prepare and clean breast fillets and place in an oven tray. Brush Zataar paste all over chicken pieces.
  4. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until chicken pieces are cooked right through. Baste pieces a couples of times through out to keep pieces moist. 

Serve with a salad or roasted vegetables.
