Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Stir in parsley, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish.
  6. Pour the butter mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are well-coated.

Notes

For added juiciness, brine the chicken for an hour before cooking. You can substitute aromatics with oregano or basil for different flavor profiles. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top before baking for an extra cheesy touch. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
