Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth or water
- 0.5 whole lemon Lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts and rub them thoroughly to ensure they are well coated.
Transfer the chicken breasts along with the marinade to a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth or water around the chicken into the dish.
Arrange the lemon slices around and on top of the chicken for extra flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your healthy low-fat oven roasted chicken!
