Ingredients (3 ingredients)

4 piece chicken breasts
1 piece lemon
2 sprigs thyme

Preparation (4 steps)

Prepare the oven and roasting tin

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pour 2 tbsp olive oil into a small roasting tin. Add lemon slices to the tin.

Season the chicken

Place the 4 chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices in the roasting tin. Rub the top of each chicken breast with a little olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the chicken. Place 2-4 sprigs of thyme between the chicken breasts.

Bake the chicken

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Check by inserting a knife into the center of each breast to ensure the juices run clear.
