Steps

Baked Lemon Chicken

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry. Set aside.
  2. Place a small saucepan over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Once the olive oil has heated, add in the garlic and cook for one minute, then remove the pan from heat.
  3. Add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, and thyme. Pour the mixture into a baking dish.
  4. Place the chicken breasts skin side up over the sauce. Drizzle some olive oil over the breasts and sprinkle them salt and pepper.
  5. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Chicken should be lightly browned when finished. To determine whether the chicken has cooked through, use a knife to make sure that the center of the breast is no longer pink.
  6. Remove the baking dish from the oven and cover. Allow the chicken to cool for 10 minutes, and then serve.
    • Drizzle some of the lemon and white wine sauce over the chicken to add extra moisture and flavor.
