Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Mince the fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley, and place them in a small bowl.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl of herbs.

Step 4

Stir in the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to create a marinade.

Step 5

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in a large resealable plastic bag or a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Pour the herb marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. For the best flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.

Step 7

Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken, being careful not to wash off the marinade.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with your favorite sides.
