– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking dish with parchment paper.

2. Zest one of the lemons using a fine grater or zester. Set the zest aside in a small bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

4. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and rub the marinade mixture over each piece, ensuring they are evenly coated.

5. Slice the zested lemon into thin rounds and place a few slices on top of each chicken breast.

6. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the chicken and lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor.

7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

8. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

9. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a pop of color and extra citrus punch.
