Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat 4 chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp fresh thyme, 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over chicken.
Step 2: Place chicken on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden and crispy.
Step 3: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with a drizzle of remaining herb-infused oil.
