– 2 chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh, if available)
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh, if available)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Lemon juice (optional)
– Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or extra rosemary)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. If you like, you can add a splash of lemon juice for extra flavor.
3. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated. You can also let them marinate for 30 minutes to an hour for more flavor.
