Directions

Prep 15 minCook 50 min

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it doesn't brown. Remove from heat and stir in the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and a teaspoon of salt. Pour the mixture into a 9x12-inch baking dish.
3
Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon into 8 wedges and arrange them around the chicken.
4
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is lightly browned. If needed, broil for 2 minutes to achieve desired browning. Cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before serving with pan juices.
