Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 4 boneless chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme.
Step 3: Brush the herb mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 4: Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the edges are golden brown.
Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
