Lemon Chicken Breats

instructions

step 1

Preheat over to 400F

step 2

Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown.

step 3

Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12 inch baking dish.

step 4

Pat the chicken breast dry, and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken brasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.

step 5

Bake for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes.

step 6

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.
