Instructions
1. **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. **Prepare the Marinade**: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. 3. **Marinate the Chicken**: Rub the herb mixture generously over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the chicken sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. 4. **Roast the Chicken**: Place the chicken breasts on a baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with internal temperature reaching 165°F (74°C). 5. **Serve**: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an added zing.
