Method
 

How to Make Oven Roasted Chicken Breast
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your chicken will cook evenly and develop a golden-brown exterior.
  2. Prepare the baking dish by spraying it with nonstick spray. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Mix the marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, soy sauce, and honey in a bowl.
  4. Coat the chicken in the baking dish with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
