Ingredients
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 medium sized, garlic cloves, grated or minced
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
coarse kosher salt or ground black pepper to taste
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
Combine the buttermilk, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Add the chicken to the dish and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425°F, remove the pan with the chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temp while the oven preheats.
Once preheated, transfer the chicken to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken with 2 forks or thinly slice it, mix the prepared chicken back in with any pan juices.
Serve immediately as desired or cool and store for future use.
