  1. To prepare Baked Lemon Chicken Breasts, start by cleaning the chicken: remove any excess fat and cut it into fairly thick slices. Wash the lemons and slice one of them.
  2. Take a baking dish and pour in plenty of extra virgin olive oil. Place the chicken breasts and lemon slices in it. Take the two remaining whole lemons, squeeze them to extract their juice and add it to the baking dish, making sure to coat the chicken breasts well.
  3. Season with salt, add a splash of chicken broth and cook in a preheated conventional oven at 200°C (392°F) for 40 minutes, making sure to turn the chicken occasionally so it cooks evenly and absorbs all the flavors.
  4. When the meat is perfectly cooked, remove from the oven and serve the Baked Lemon Chicken Breasts with their cooking juices! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
