- 4 whole garlic cloves, minced

- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and serve with your favorite sides. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley for a fresh finish.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the spice blend for a few hours before baking. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
