Juicy Herbed Chicken Breast

What's the secret to roasting tender and juicy chicken breasts. Parchment paper! Perfect every time! 

Ingredients:

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 lemon

salt, pepper, oregano and thyme to taste

2 garlic cloves

2 tsps butter

fresh chopped parsley to garnish

Take 2 sheets of parchment paper and lay lemon slices down the middles. Cut garlic cloves in half and rub them all over each chicken breast. Then mince the garlic, add to the rest of the seasonings and spread evenly over each breast. Place them on top of the lemon slices topped with a pat of butter. Wrap each parchment packet up and place in a baking dish.

Bake in a 400°F oven for 30-32 minutes, then open up the parchment and return to the oven for about 10 minutes. The internal temperature should read 165°F.

Add the parsley and serve with the roasted lemon slices or, if you prefer, more fresh lemon.
