Baked Split Chicken Breast

Ingredients:

2 large bone-in chicken breast halves with skin

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Method:

Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and garlic; sprinkle with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and basil. Arrange chicken in a large baking dish and refrigerate at least 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Bake in preheated oven until chicken meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast meat should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
