Denise says "This also works well with chicken wings for a party serving. I love the lavender in herbes de Provence and sometimes even add a bit more. This herb is something easy that most people can buy if they don't grow their own herbs and flowers." Check out more great Poultry Recipes and how to Brine Poultry for a moister and tastier dish. Chicken with Herbes de Provence
4 chicken boneless breast halves, with skin*
* Do not remove skin until after baking, as the skin helps to retain moisture in the meat. ** Herbes de Provence - An assortment of dried herbs said to reflect those most commonly used in southern France. The mixture commonly contains basil, fennel seed, lavender, marjoram, rosemary, sage, summer savory, and thyme. Place chicken breasts, single layer, into an ungreased 13x9-inch baking dish. In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil and the herbes de Provence together. Pour marinade over chicken breasts. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes or refrigerate to marinate longer (turning meat over several times). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife); basting several times during cooking. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
