Such a success!! My wife is pregnant so she was ecstatic about it being both flavorful and healthy. I made it with Montreal Chicken seasoning though and served it with steamed corn and broccoli. We're DEFINITELY going to be making this again!

Simple and delish!!! I didnt have lemon pepper seasoning, so I mixed lemon juice with the olive oil before I brushed it on. I also sprinkled the chicken with salt n pepper, garlic powder and a bit of basil...this is SO a keeper!! Thanks!

Nice and easy, the little twist I did was add lime juice to the olive oil and mixed it well before brushing the chicken with it. Love it!!

Easiest and best recipe for baked chicken that I have ever seen. I love making chicken and egg salad and had been using the microwave for the chicken until I saw this recipe. The chicken is sooo much more tender and juicy than my old way... A definite keeper. Thank you very much!

Many health professionals will tell you to cook chicken to 165°F. Yes, a very tasty and easy way to prepare chicken breasts. Try some thyme as a garnish!

This was a great help! But, I marinaded the chicken in some Marsala sauce, placed a bunch of asparagus on the bottom of the baking dish, breasts on top of asparagus then a heap of sauteed mushrooms on top of the chicken. Followed your baking instructions and I now have a new favorite! Thanks!!!
