Delicious Lemon Herb Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, making sure to coat the chicken evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally, let it marinate for 1-2 hours.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
  6. Optional: For an extra touch, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes for a nice golden finish.
  7. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprinkle of additional herbs if desired.

This Lemon Herb Chicken pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy this sunny, flavorful dish that brings a little bit of warmth to your dining table!
