Chicken breast in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. As you will see for yourself, there's nothing difficult about making it. I would only advise not to omit aromatic herbs such as oregano and thyme, as in my opinion, they are what tie together the lemon-garlic sauce and the tender chicken meat. If you don't have fresh thyme, use dried thyme at least. The dish is ready to be served.
