Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir until well blended.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Use a spoon or a brush to evenly coat each chicken breast with the mayo-dill mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown on top and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
