Description

A flavorful chicken dish enhanced with fresh herbs and rich butter, perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the softened butter, garlic, parsley, chives, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Rub the garlic herb butter mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Allowing the chicken to rest post-baking lets the juices redistribute, leading to a juicier result.
