  • Über dieses Rezept:

    At the end of your day, the last thing you want to do is whip up something complicated for dinner, but you also don't want to eat pasta every single night. Our lemon chicken recipe is simple to cook with ingredients you may already have at home, and it's anything but boring. As an added bonus, it's low in calories, so you can feel great while still enjoying what you eat. One of the biggest concerns when cooking chicken breast is that it might turn out dry. The fact that we bake the chicken in lemon butter for this recipe certainly helps, but the real secret is using MEATER to make sure your chicken is cooked to the perfect temperature! While you can have a crisp salad as a side if you want to be super healthy, we encourage serving your chicken with a starch, like potatoes or rice, to fill out the meal. As an added bonus, these kinds of sides will soak up your extra sauce so you won't waste a drop of that lemony, buttery goodness. You'll get the best pairing with drinks that are refreshing and not too fruity, so we suggest a lovely dry prosecco or a lager.

    Zubereitungsmethode:

  • 1

    Mix Herbs

    Combine your dry herbs.

    While a lot of lemon chicken recipes keep the herbs pretty simple, we wanted something a little more surprising and unique. Marjoram, rosemary, and oregano are classically used together in Italian recipes, and they work together to bring a strong and herby contrast to the tanginess of the lemon butter.

  • 2

    Slice Lemon

    Thinly slice half of your lemon and set the other half aside.

    Poultry and citrus always make an excellent combination. Lemon in particular makes the meat subtly tangy, and it tends to pair well with most herbs that are widely used for cooking poultry.

    Pat Chicken Dry

    Pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels.

    You should always pat your meat dry so your seasonings will stick better. If you bought your chicken breasts pre-packaged at a grocery store, this also gets rid of any leftover liquid from the packaging.

  • 4

    Season Chicken

    Sprinkle salt and pepper all over and pat it in.

  • 5

    Pre-Heat Oven

    Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This can take up to 15m.

    Chicken breast is a super lean meat, so it doesn't need to be cooked slowly since there's no fat to render. Instead, it's better to cook at a medium high temperature so it's ready faster, and so it ends up a lovely golden color instead of a weird pasty white or a sad beige.
