This is one of our favorite ways to prepare boneless skinless chicken breasts. Use fresh herbs, such as rosemary and parsley, and lemon juice to give plain baked chicken fantastic flavor. It comes together in one roasting pan and is mostly hands-off preparation-wise. Just let the chicken bake away in the oven for about half an hour, and it's ready to go. This combination of flavors also works well with turkey cutlets or white fish fillets. If you're looking to mix things up a bit, try using chicken thighs and/or a combination of your favorite herbs from your garden if you'd like.
Ingredients:
4 sprays cooking spray
1 lb uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, four 4 oz halves
½ tsp table salt
¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp olive oil
2 tsp fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
2 tsp rosemary, fresh, chopped
2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
½ medium lemon, quartered (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Coat a small, shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.
Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken to prepared pan and drizzle with oil; sprinkle with lemon juice, rosemary, and parsley. Pour broth around the chicken to coat the bottom of the pan.
Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with fresh lemon and serve.
