Something about certain herbs just blends well with chicken breasts. In this baked herb chicken recipe, tarragon and basil leaves are used for additional flavor. Lemon juice and red pepper flakes add a bit of zest, while the optional dry white wine enhances the taste even further.

This baked herb chicken recipe serves 4 people.

Time required for preparation and cooking is roughly between 40 and 60 minutes.

Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp dried tarragon leaves
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp dried basil leaves
6 tsp dry white wine (optional)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

First, set the oven to preheat at 350 degrees. Ensure the chicken breasts are made somewhat flat -- this can be done by pounding them gently through two sheets of waxed paper. Give them a coating of the extra virgin olive oil, and then set them in a baking dish. Add the rest of the ingredients, while also turning the chicken to get both sides sufficiently covered. Next, cover the dish with aluminum foil. Allow the meal to bake until the chicken has been thoroughly cooked, which may be between 25 and 30 minutes.
