This chicken is very juicy and garlic-y, while the lemon is subtle. An adaptation of a Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger recipe. Does not include time if you want to let it marinate.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 lemon, zest of (I use a microplaner)
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
fresh ground black pepper
salt
2 tablespoons fresh oregano or rosemary (thyme or sage would probably work as well)

Directions

1
Combine oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Coat chicken with this, plus grind a few turns of pepper over it. At this point you can let it marinate up to a day or cook it right away (I like to let it marinate). When ready for baking, sprinkle a little salt over the chicken.
2
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
3
Roast chicken for 20 minutes, then add the fresh herbs. Cook for about 25 more minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. If you use bone-in chicken breasts, you will need to increase the cooking time.

Lovely light marinade with a touch of zest from the garlic. I prepared this with bone in breasts and roasted for 45 minutes (20 at 400 degrees; the remaining at 375) and found the poultry was cooked perfectly. Since my marinating time was rather brief, I used a full tablespoon of lemon and added Greek oregano during the final cooking time. For bone in I would suggest including the herbs for the entire cooking time for the flavors to permeate more. Thanks!

Excellent, mild chicken dish. I used fresh rosemary and oregano. Next time I think I will place it on the grill. Made for ZWT4.

Love the taste of the lemon in the chicken! It was very easy, healthy, convenient, and used handy ingredients. I served this with Wilted Spinach Salad With Roasted Kumara (Sweet Potato), peas, and a pineapple sherbert. I did double the marinade and am glad I did. Now I wish I would have taken the juices and made a sauce to go with it. Thanks Maito for a great recipe. Made for the Please Review My Recipe tag game.
