Baked Split Chicken Breast
  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and garlic; season with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and basil. Place the chicken in a large baking dish.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast meat should register 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

    Serve hot and enjoy.
