Savory Herb Roasted Chicken Breast

 (adapted from Allrecipes) 

Servings: 2

This is an easy and elegant recipe for roast chicken breasts.  You can vary the herbs to use your favorites; I'm just partial to herbes de Provence!   The aroma of this savory chicken while it roasts is wonderful!

INGREDIENTS:

2 large bone-in chicken breast halves with skin (split chicken breasts)

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon minced garlic

½ teaspoon coarse sea salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 to 2 Tablespoons Herbes de Provence

DIRECTIONS:

·         Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

·         Rub chicken breasts with olive oil; sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence

·         Arrange chicken in large baking dish and refrigerate at least one hour

·         Bake in preheated oven for about an hour; an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast should read 165 degrees F
