Serves: 4 Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes
¼ cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 to 6 ounces each)
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the chopped rosemary, mustard, lemon zest, and olive oil in a small bowl to make a paste and rub over both sides of each chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper and bake in a greased ovenproof baking dish for 5 minutes. Turn down the heat to 350°F and cook for an additional 5 minutes or so; the chicken should be firm but not pink inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the temperature is at least 165 degrees in the center. Be careful not to overcook. Serve with Baked Zucchini and Tomatoes (see recipe below).
