Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
470g

3.30g
1 tsp dried oregano
1.80g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish.

3. Season the Chicken:

- Rub the herb and oil mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.

4. Roast the Chicken:
- Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking dish.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven.

Tips:

- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper for a richer flavor.

- Let the chicken marinate in the herbs and olive oil for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavor.

- Ensure the chicken breasts are of similar thickness to allow for even cooking.

- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after roasting to redistribute the juices, making it even more tender and flavorful.
