Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 boneless chicken breasts in the marinade, turning to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours to imbibe the citrus-herb flavors.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Scatter 8 whole peeled garlic cloves around the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the garlic cloves are golden and soft.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted garlic cloves for a sweet, mellow accompaniment.
