Reviews
My wife was thrilled with the Italian Herbs flavoring the chicken breast. I had a light Sunday dinner ready this evening in under an hour and every bite was delicious! Marinating the chicken in a flavorful olive oil and lemon juice with finely chopped garlic and Italian Seasoning (containing the oregano and herbs called for, plus some), brought out the essence of the breast in all its tender goodness. A slice of sourdough bread from Panera and a gentle red wine completed the meal.
4-23-23 baked for 40 minutes. This was a delicious moist chicken breast.
Excellent. I substituted Italian Seasoning in place of the Oregano and Thyme. Paired it with Tabbouleh.
This is delicious! Reminds me of the Greek chicken I’ve had at restaurants. Only charge I made was to marinate it all day. Then it really takes on that flavor. Great with rice or mashed potatoes, and a salad. You can increase the marinade ingredients and use it for bone-in chicken, or a whole chicken, too.
It was delicious! I followed the recipe, and it was perfection!
I made this and found it to be delicious. Didn’t change anything other than doubling the recipe, and it turned out great.
Made it exactly as it was given, and it was delicious!
We didn’t really care for this. The Copycat Longhorn Chicken is so much better.
It was very easy to prepare. I prepared a larger amount of chicken, so I doubled the ingredients. I have not taste it yet. It’s in the oven now.
So easy AND So good! I didn’t feel like cooking but I wanted NOT pizza or wings 😉
Very easy to prep. The Lemon juice gives it a great flavor. I liked the last step of broiling to perfection.
This was easy and delicious!! I split the breasts that I had so they were thinner and marinated for about 30 minutes. The only change I made was garlic powder instead of fresh garlic other than that I stayed with the recipe! I made sure to not overcook the chicken and watched the time! It was a hit with my family!
This was easy to make and delicious. The chicken was very moist and grilled on top. I paired the chicken with a tabbouleh salad and it worked well together. Will definitely make this again.
I followed the recipe exactly except for the broiler part. I am not particularly fond of skin off chicken breast, would much rather have thighs. The result was very tasty, but even though I only cooked them to 180* they were still dry.
I made this very tasty chicken last night you will see I did not give a presentation but pretend there’s asparagus and a baked potato on the plate
This was a hit in my house! The chicken was a bit tough but the flavor was AWESOME. Next time I will cook slower and lower. The flavors are oh so good!
Delicious and juicy! Always a favorite and easy recipe to make and add a little more lemon juice and perfect for lunch the next day.
I made this recipe two weeks ago. It was a hit all around. The chicken is tender and tasty and the recipe is easy and calls for ingredients in most kitchens. After 1 year of shelter in place, this is a great, easy recipe to add to the rotation.
This recipe was delicious. I followed the advice of other reviewers by marinating the chicken, in the fridge, for about 45 minutes. I also added 1 can of artichokes without the juice from the can. I served it over couscous with a dash of pepitas and slivered almonds. My family loved it!
Made it exactly as written. Kinda sorry I scaled it down to two servings. If I had left it as four, we would’ve had leftovers. 🙂 Husband and I gobbled it down. Loved the lemony tang and ease of making. Will absolutely add this to my “easy weekday” recipe list!
This was easy and great tasting. I tripled it – I had 6 chicken breasts and used them all as I knew we would like it.
