Name: Herb Chicken
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: ¼ cup Italian parsley, finely chopped; 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, leaves removed and finely chopped, stem discarded; 2-3 tsp. lemon peel (about 1 lemon), finely chopped; sea salt and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)

Whoever thought that a simple baked chicken breast was boring was dead wrong.

This baked chicken breast with parsley, rosemary, and lemon zest positively bursts with fresh, bright flavors.

Any fresh herbs can be used in this recipe — try substituting the rosemary with basil, tarragon, or oregano. The leftovers (if you have any!) taste great on a salad.
