Description

A simple yet flavorful recipe for melt-in-your-mouth chicken breasts, featuring garlic, lemon, and honey.


Ingredients

  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs to create the marinade.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish; pour marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange marinated chicken breasts inside.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.

Notes

Allow chicken to rest after baking for increased tenderness. Experiment with different herbs to customize the flavor.
