Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Begin by prepping the herbs. Finely chop the fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, and oregano. Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once marinated, transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken once with the juices halfway through the cooking time.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy your dairy-free Italian herb chicken!
