Cooking Tools Required

Aluminum Foil, Cutting board, Heavy duty rimmed baking sheet, Measuring cups and spoons, Oven, Sharp Knives

Ingredients

4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 tablespoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
1 head garlic peeled, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Garnish:

2 tablespoon Italian parsley chopped
1 lemon thinly sliced

Instructions

Lightly salt & pepper the chicken breasts & place in 9-by-13 baking dish.
Peel & roughly chop garlic cloves. Roughly chop basil.
Combine lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, garlic, & olive oil in a medium bowl.
Pour sauce over chicken breasts & cover dish with aluminum foil.
Bake covered at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, this may vary depending on size of chicken breasts. When chicken is fully cooked remove foil & broil until chicken is browned, about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer to serving platter and garnish with chopped Italian parsley & sliced lemon.

Notes

You can use this same recipe roasting a whole chicken or legs if you prefer dark meat. I love roasted garlic but you do not have to use an entire bulb especially if you pair up this dish with delicious Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes.

Reheating Instructions

Heat in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until chicken is heated through.
