Baked chicken with lemon and fresh herbs

By Joanna Jerowsky

Baked chicken with lemon and fresh herbs

Prep:10minCook:35min

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

I'm not a good cook and I can make this easy! Very moist and tasty! I added a lot more lemon juice than they said the second time I made it and that really brought the lemon flavor out cuz the first time I made it i didn't taste much lemon. I also took the rosemary off of the second time but that's just cuz I don't like rosemary lol

I thought it was really good. I've never thought to pour broth around the chicken. It also only took like 20 minutes to bake the chicken. I will make again. I didn't use fresh herbs this time so maybe next time I will try that. I paired this with mushroom rice and salad.

Delicious and juicy. Added capers and some crushed garlic 🤌 I cooked it at 180 Celsius for just over 20 minutes. My chicken breasts were halved into steaks. The balance of acidity and salty sets this off. Served with mashed potato. Would be great chopped on salad as a lighter option. You could probably thicken the cooking liquid into an amazing sauce, but I was having a quick easy meal so just spooned it over the chicken as it was.

A bit too much rosemary for our taste. It was almost overwhelming. Will probably half the amount of rosemary next time. Very tasty though!

Dee Bberry· 3 years ago

Was really good. Flavor in every bite! So tender juicy! I cooked at 350 for 2 hours as the breasts were thawed enough to separate but not completely thawed. I also did not have broth so used water instead.
