Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Basil Chicken Bake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Next, sprinkle a teaspoon each of dried parsley and dried basil evenly across the bottom of the dish, creating a fragrant herb base.
Step 4
Now, gently place the chicken breast halves in the dish, and for a burst of flavor, layer thin slices of garlic on top of the chicken.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining two teaspoons of parsley, two teaspoons of basil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of crushed red pepper flakes.
Step 6
This aromatic blend will add a delightful kick to your dish, so sprinkle it generously over the chicken.
Step 7
To finish off this beautiful creation, arrange sliced tomatoes on top, adding a pop of color and freshness.
Step 8
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 9
After that, carefully remove the foil and allow it to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is perfectly cooked and the juices run clear.
Step 10
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you'll have a delicious meal ready to enjoy!.
