Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 lemon, zest of
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
fresh ground black pepper
salt
2 tablespoons fresh oregano (rosemary, thyme or sage would probably work as well)

Directions

1

Combine oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Coat chicken with this, plus grind a few turns of pepper over it. At this point you can let it marinate up to a day or cook it right away (I like to let it marinate). When ready for baking, sprinkle a little salt over the chicken.
2

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
3

Roast chicken for 20 minutes, then add the fresh herbs. Cook for about 25 more minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. If you use bone-in chicken breasts, you will need to increase the cooking time.
