Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes; for best results, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in an ovenproof dish.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired, alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
