Ingredients

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic minced

Bake chicken breasts at 375ºF for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.
Remove chicken breast from the oven and then place it onto a plate. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Storage: let baked chicken breast cool completely and then transfer into an airtight container. Store in the rerigeraor for up to 3-5 days.
