For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the honey, lemon juice, zest, and spices for at least 30 minutes before baking. Consider adding a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the bottom of the casserole dish to keep the chicken extra moist. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs or chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness. Serve over a bed of fluffy rice, quinoa, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

02
StepPlace chicken breasts in a shallow casserole dish. Brush each breast with 1 tablespoon of honey. (5 minutes)
03
StepZest one lemon, then cut it in half. Slice the remaining lemons into thin rounds. (10 minutes)
04
StepSqueeze the juice from one lemon half evenly over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with the lemon zest. (2 minutes)
05
StepIn a small bowl, combine the dried dill, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. (3 minutes)

StepBake until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (40 minutes)
