Baked Lemon-Dill Chicken Breasts

Prep: 10 mins Cook: 40 mins Total: 50 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 (5 ounce) boneless chicken breasts

• 4 tablespoons honey

• 5 lemons

• 4 teaspoons dried dill weed

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 4 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2 - Set chicken breasts into a shallow casserole dish and brush 1 tablespoon honey onto each breast.

Step 3 - Zest 1 lemon, then cut in half. Slice remaining lemons. Squeeze juice from 1 lemon over the tops of the chicken breasts and sprinkle with lemon zest. Combine dill, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle spices on top of the chicken. Cover chicken breasts with lemon slices and set 1 tablespoon butter on each piece of chicken breast.

Step 4 - Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
