Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 lemon lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, and pour the lemon-herb mixture over them, coating well on all sides.
Pour the chicken broth around the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring to keep the lemon-herb mixture on top of the chicken.
Arrange lemon slices on top of the chicken breasts.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and serve warm.
