### 7 Up Chicken

#### Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup 7 Up soda
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

#### Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the 7 Up soda, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

2. Place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a bit of olive oil to the skillet.

5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.

6. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

7. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven. Carefully place the chicken on a serving platter.

8. Garnish the 7 Up Chicken with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

9. Serve the chicken hot, alongside your favorite side dishes like rice, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy the tender and flavorful chicken with a hint of citrusy zest from the 7 Up marinade.
