Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and position a rack in the center of the oven.
• Pat the 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels and set them in a single layer in a baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary, and 2 minced garlic cloves; stir until evenly mixed.
• Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Pour the rosemary-lemon mixture evenly over the chicken, turning each breast once or spooning the mixture over both sides so they are well coated.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
