Baked Split Chicken Breast

This is a very easy, but elegant, baked chicken breast recipe that looks like you've spent hours in the kitchen when you've barely lifted a finger!

Ingredient

    • 2 large bone-in chicken breast halves with skin

    • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

    • ½ teaspoon garlic, minced

    • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt

    • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

    • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary

    1. ¼ teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

    Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and garlic; sprinkle with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and basil. Arrange chicken in a large baking dish.

    Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

    Bake in the preheated oven until chicken meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast meat should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
