For even more flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon-oregano mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, in the refrigerator before baking. If you prefer a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the lemon-oregano mixture. Serve this chicken with roasted vegetables, rice pilaf, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. To prevent the chicken from drying out, you can cover the baking dish with foil during the first half of the baking time and then remove the foil for the remaining time to allow the chicken to brown.
