Ingredients

  • 4 (5 ounce) boneless chicken breasts

  • 4 tablespoons honey

  • 5 lemons

  • 4 teaspoons dried dill weed

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 4 tablespoons butter

Directions

  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.

  4. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
