Herb Roasted Chicken Breasts

Oven-roasted chicken breasts coated in a simple herb butter mixture. An easy, flavorful main dish for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 Tablespoons butter room temperature
• 2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F.

  In a small bowl, stir together butter, parsley, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly cracked pepper.

  Using a meat mallet, pound chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch at the thickest part). Pat dry with paper towels.

  Place chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish. Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the top of each breast.

  Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

• Using a mallet, pound your chicken breasts to at least 3/4" at the thickest part. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Spread mixture over the surface of each breast. Place chicken in oven and bake for 20 minutes. The total time varies, so use a meat thermometer to make sure chicken is at least 165 degrees F. Once baked, let rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enj
