Herb Chicken Recipe

  • Bright, fresh flavors of spring herbs elevate this dish.
  • Quick preparation makes it perfect for weeknight dinners.
  • Healthy and customizable to suit various dietary needs.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon

How to Make

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the herb mixture over them, making sure they’re evenly coated. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

  • Feel free to adjust the herbs based on your personal preference.
  • Marinating the chicken for a few hours deepens the flavors.

Make-Ahead

This Herb Chicken can be marinated a day in advance for an even deeper flavor. Store in the fridge until you’re ready to cook!

Storing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last for up to three days.

Freezing

If you want to freeze the chicken, do so before cooking. Place the marinated chicken in a freezer bag, remove excess air, and freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.

Reheating

Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this Herb Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Consider serving it over a bed of quinoa or brown rice for a wholesome meal. Enjoy!
