This recipe brings a delightful twist to the classic herb-baked chicken, offering a flavorful and juicy dish perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a nice roasted texture.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish lightly coated with non-stick spray.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, oregano, and rosemary.
Combine the herbs and spices thoroughly for an even distribution of flavors.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over them.
Ensure the chicken is well-coated with the seasoning for maximum flavor.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfectly cooked chicken.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and flavorful.
