Ingredients

  1. 4 (5 ounce) boneless chicken breasts
  2. 4 tablespoons honey
  3. 5 lemons
  4. 4 teaspoons dried dill weed
  5. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  6. 1 teaspoon dried basil
  7. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  8. salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  9. 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Set chicken breasts into a shallow casserole dish and brush 1 tablespoon honey onto each breast.
  3. Zest 1 lemon, then cut in half. Slice remaining lemons. Squeeze juice from 1 lemon over the tops of the chicken breasts and sprinkle with lemon zest. Combine dill, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle spices on top of the chicken. Cover chicken breasts with lemon slices and set 1 tablespoon butter on each piece of chicken breast.

3-26-22 A tad bit dry but great flavor.

I tweaked it a little bit since I couldn’t get the lemons to slice well. So I added them as pictured, and put a couple squirts of the bottled lemon juice in it. Perfect.
Karen Medina
This was great! I only had three chicken breasts. I didn’t have basil so I used parsley. I used one lemon to squeeze the juice and two others sliced around. There are a lot of herbs on the chicken, but when you bake
Danielle Santiago
Perfect with rice and steamed veggies!
Nicole Mclean
Made it as is. It was wonderful, will make it again.
Mindy Christensen
It was alright
Steven Nicholson
Uses spray butter instead of real butter
Lisa Trujillo
It turned very tasty and everyone liked them. No need to tweak the recipe.
Joshua Gibson
I made the chicken dish, the chicken seemed somewhat dry. Maybe I need to add a few more lemons and mix spice mixture
Madison Pennington
you stated 4 tablespoons of honey (that’s a lot of honey ) It was a mess …..
Shane Murray
I loved this recipe. I used chicken wings instead of chicken breast. Needless to say none was left. Should have taken the picture.
David Travis
It was a bit too tangy. I’ll probably try it again and cut the dill and the lemon in half. I may even cut all the herbs in half but may just need to play with the recipe a bit. The picture looked nothing like how mine turned out. The herbs completely covered the chicken but the picture barely shows any. The combination of herbs and lemon were great, just too much of it.
