Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • 2 lemons
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each)
  • Optional: fresh parsley (thyme, oregano, and lemon zest for garnish)

Instruction

  • Prepare the lemon sauce by placing all of the ingredients in a large jar with a lid and shaking vigorously until completely combined (alternatively, you can whisk in a bowl or quickly mix in a blender).
  • Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
  • Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray. Pour about ¾ of the Lemon Sauce into the bottom of the dish, setting the remaining sauce aside for later. Place chicken breasts in the sauce, season with salt and pepper, and tuck lemon slices among the chicken.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken breasts). When the chicken is cooked through, allow the meat to rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Drizzle chicken with reserved sauce and garnish with fresh herbs. This is delicious tossed with pasta, served over rice, or even topped on salad.
