Baked Split Chicken Breast
- 4 large bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
- Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and garlic; sprinkle with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and basil. Arrange chicken in a large baking dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken meat is no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes.
- An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast meat should read 165 degrees F
