Rosemary Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

Salt

1 teaspoon, or to taste

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Lemon

1, juiced

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Fresh rosemary

2 tablespoons, finely chopped

Chicken breasts

4 (boneless and skinless)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well-mixed.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the prepared rosemary mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated. Use your hands to gently massage the mixture into the chicken, if necessary.
4. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The chicken should no longer be pink in the center.
5. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, ensuring a moist and flavorful dish.
6. Serve your Rosemary Roasted Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, healthy meal. Enjoy!
