Herb Roasted Chicken Breast

1 serving

All you need! 

- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (I used an organic one and trust me you can really taste the difference!)

- 1 Tbsp of olive oil

- 1/2 lemon

- a few sprigs of assorted fresh herbs (Use whatever you have in house or you can purchase a mixed fresh herb package)

- salt & pepper

.....Thats it!

Oh...and some aluminum foil or parchment paper :)

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees

-Tear off a pretty large piece of foil (large enough you will be able to roll up the sides to make your pocket!). Season your chicken with the olive oil & salt & pepper. Place the chicken breast in the center then begin to roll up the sides to make a pocket around the chicken (leave the pocket open - as pictured above). 

- Place the fresh herbs in the pocket with the chicken, spread them out, on the side, on top, etc.

- Squeeze the half on lemon into the pocket onto the chicken.

- Roll up and close your pocket! Just bring all the sides towards the center and roll down (like a brown paper lunch bag). 

- Place chicken in the oven on a baking pan for 20-30 minutes until thoroughly cooked.

Leave the chicken in the pocket.. it makes it more fun and a better presentation...treat yourself!

I had my chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, I seasoned them with coconut oil, salt & pepper then placed them on the baking pan with my chicken and roasted them at the same time. Easy, peasy.
