Additional rosemary sprigs and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish. Rub the marinade over and under the skin of the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Arrange lemon slices around and on top of the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth around the chicken pieces in the baking dish. This helps keep the chicken moist while it cooks. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
Halfway through the cooking time, baste the chicken with the juices collected at the bottom of the baking dish. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and lemon slices.
Tip:
To infuse more flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon and rosemary mixture for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator. If using bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces, adjust cooking times accordingly, as they may take longer to cook.
