Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 4 boneless chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 2: Finely chop 2 cloves garlic and 2 tablespoons fresh dill, then mix with the zest and juice of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon olive oil to create a glaze.
Step 3: Spread half the glaze over the chicken, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and edges are golden brown, basting with remaining glaze halfway through.
