For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before baking. Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried herbs; use about 3 times the amount. Serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete and balanced meal. To ensure even cooking, use chicken breasts of similar thickness. You can also gently pound thicker breasts to an even thickness. Don't overbake the chicken, as it can become dry. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
