Garlic-Roasted Chicken Breasts image

Thick chicken breasts can be hard to get just right; often you're left with a too-dry, too-bland dinner. But this high-heat roasting method results in crisp, crackly skin that gives way to moist flesh, perfumed throughout by a pocket filled with herbed garlic paste.

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large garlic cloves

Scant 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
