Yield Makes 4 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Scant 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 chicken breast halves with skin and bone (2 to 2 1/4 lb total)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in upper third.
  • Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in oregano, red-pepper flakes, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Cut a 2-inch-long pocket (about 1 1/2 inches deep) horizontally in side of each breast half and spread 1/2 teaspoon garlic mixture into each pocket. Coat chicken with remaining garlic mixture.
  • Roast chicken, skin sides up, in a foil-lined large shallow baking pan until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before roasting it. You can also brush it with olive oil or melted butter.
  • If you want to add more flavor to the chicken, try marinating it overnight in a mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, consider adding some moisture to the pan. This can be done by adding a little bit of water, broth, or wine.
  • For a more flavorful and juicy chicken, roast it with vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, onions, or broccoli.

Conclusion:

Roasted boneless chicken breast is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack.
