Steps:
- 1. Pre-oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease bottom of 13x9" baking dish. With clean hands, coat each chicken breast all over with olive oil. Arrange chicken pieces in baking dish.
- 2. Gently lift a bit of the chicken breast skin and tuck some mincled garlic (plus a rosemary sprig, if desired) under the skin. Pour lemon juice over the top of chicken breasts. Sprinkle herbs and spices over tops of chicken breasts. (The more tarragon, the better!)
- 3. Bake uncovered 45 minutes to 1 hour (or when pricked with a toothpick the juices are clear. Skin will be a beautiful golden brown.
- 4. Important: Remove dish from oven and immediately cover with foil. Tuck foil into sides and corners of dish to trap steam. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This ensures that the juices return to the center of each chicken breast! Option: The chicken bone is easily removed at this point by turning the breast upside down. Bone will easily pull away from meat with one pull.
- 5. Presentation. Yellow Rice and Steamed Green Beans creates a clorful plate. (Add leftover lemon juice and butter to freshly steamed green beans. Gently turn beans to coat.
