Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispy skin.
- 3
Season the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.
- 4
Add Lemon
Slice the lemon in half and place it inside the cavity of the chicken breasts for added flavor.
- 5
Roast the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- 6
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
