Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken Breasts

I hate it when i have chicken breasts and i don’t know what to do with it . Most of the time , i don’t know what to do with chicken breast , because i prefer chicken thighs , dark meat to me has the best flavour , it’s a lot better than having to eat white meat . There goes .. the eating healthy thing . Obviously white meat is healthier than dark meat .. but anyway , today i had chicken breasts thawing and thinking and thinking what should i do with it .

So here is lemon garlic roasted chicken breasts , which is super easy and tastes pretty nice , considering  it’s white meat  . Meat thermometer is a must here , because you def. don’t want undercooked meat , nor you want a overcooked white meat . I hope you never ever have to eat overcooked white meat because it would be way too dry !!! This turns out very juicy and delicious

You will need :

3 chicken breasts , skin on , bone in

1/4 c. of good olive oil

9 cloves of garlic , minced

1/3 c. of white wine

lemon zest from 1 lemon

2 tbsp. of fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 tsp. of dry oregano

1 tsp. of dry thyme

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

black pepper

In a small saucepan , heat the olive oil , add the minced garlic for just 1 minute , do not brown it ! Turn heat off , add white wine , oregano , thyme and salt , pepper . Pour in 13×9 inch pan , pat dry the chicken breasts , roll around the chicken with the oil mixture , skin side up , do the same with the rest of the chicken breast . Drizzle with olive oil , and little more kosher salt and pepper . Bake at 400 F until meat themometer reached 165 F . Mine took about 45 minutes .
