Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken breasts to the marinade; let sit for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.
Arrange marinated chicken in the baking dish and pour any remaining marinade on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
