A delightful Mediterranean-inspired chicken dish infused with the tangy flavor of lemons and aromatic herbs.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Slice two lemons into thin rounds and place three slices under the skin of each chicken breast.
Loosening the skin carefully ensures the lemon slices stay in place.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a roasting pan and surround them with onion wedges, olives, and rosemary sprigs.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor.
Season everything with salt and pepper, then drizzle with the juice of the remaining lemon.
Use freshly cracked pepper for a more robust flavor.
Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
Add a sprig of mint to each plate for an elegant presentation.
