Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, chicken broth, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to make the marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in a baking dish, pouring any remaining marinade from the bag over the chicken.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep moisture in, and place it in the preheated oven.
Step 7
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
Step 8
Once baked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure juiciness.
Step 9
Serve the chicken hot with your choice of accompaniments, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
