Description

A flavorful and effortless chicken breast recipe that melts in your mouth, perfect for busy weeknights.


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 the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the marinated chicken breasts inside.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. Let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for longer, even up to overnight.
