Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 tsp fresh sage finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, fresh sage, garlic and ground black pepper until all ingredients are evenly dispersed.
  • Marinate chicken breasts for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Place chicken breasts onto prepared baking sheet and spoon any extra marinade evenly over chicken.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes

  • Dried sage can be used instead of fresh, use about 1/3 of the amount.
  • Chicken thighs, tenders, etc. can be used instead of chicken breasts, if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice can be used instead of juicing a lemon, if desired.
