Perfectly Roasted Chicken Breast

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.

Pat your chicken breast dry with a paper towel to remove all moisture.

Place the breasts into a large oven dish and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Using your clean hands very gently separate the skin from the chicken meat.

Step 5

Spread the ghee under the skin, and rub some over all the breasts too.

Step 6

Add in the garlic cut sides down, the fresh lemon, and thyme or rosemary to your dish then pour in the wine.

Step 7

Roast for 30-40 minutes (depending on their size), or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the breast reaches 165 degrees f.

Step 8

Cover and rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Carefully squeeze the lemon all over the chicken breasts.

Step 10

Reserve the drippings for gravy if desired.

Garnish as desired.
