Lemon Thyme Chicken

Seriously the perfect weeknight dinner. Easy to make, 5 minutes of active cooking time and then just pop it in the oven and wait. We're definitely going to be adding this one to the rotation.

Lemon-Thyme Chicken

Ingredients:
1-2 tbsp olive oil
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1/3 cup of chicken broth
Zest from 1 lemon
Juice from 1 lemon
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
1 tsp dried thyme
1 lemon cut into 4 wedges

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, making sure not to burn the garlic. 

3. Add the chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, and thyme leaves to the pan. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. 

4. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Place the chicken in the baking dish along with the lemon wedges and the two sprigs of thyme.

5. Place into the oven and bake, basting occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the pan sauce on top of the slices of chicken and serve. Enjoy!
