Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon dried basil
• ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
• ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 2 large bone-in chicken breast halves with skin

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and garlic; sprinkle with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and basil. Arrange chicken in a large baking dish and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast meat should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
