Chicken and Herbs

Ingredients

  • bone-in chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
  • tablespoons olive oil
  • tablespoon grated onion
  • garlic cloves, minced
  • teaspoon dried thyme
  • /2 teaspoon salt
  • /2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • /2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • /4 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • /8 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • /8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • /2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly coat an 11x7-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and nestle the chicken breasts inside. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil with grated onion, minced garlic, thyme, salt, rosemary, pepper, sage, marjoram, and hot pepper sauce until blended. Pour this herby mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece gets a good coating. Slide the dish into the oven and bake uncovered for about 35 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 170°F and the juices run clear. Once done, I carefully remove the skin—it's easier while warm—and discard it. Transfer the chicken to a platter, scatter with fresh parsley, and drizzle any remaining pan juices on top. Let it rest a few minutes before serving so every bite stays beautifully moist.

Chef's Tip

I always let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking to keep the juices locked in, then sprinkle with parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon for brightness. It elevates the herbs without adding carbs.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven to keep it moist, or shred the meat for salads and wraps.

Variation Tips

Pair with roasted broccoli or cauliflower mash for a complete keto meal. Try swapping sage with tarragon or adding a pinch of smoked paprika for a different herbal twist.
