Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take your chicken breasts and place them in a baking dish, making sure the skin side is facing up.

3. Step 3

   Sprinkle half of your salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika over the chicken, giving it a nice flavor boost.

4. Step 4

   Then, gently flip the chicken over and season the other side with the remaining spices, ensuring every bite is delicious.

5. Step 5

   Next, grab two lemons, cut them in half, and squeeze the juice over the chicken, letting that zesty goodness soak in.

6. Step 6

   Don’t forget to toss the lemon halves aside after you’re done! Pour a cup of water into the baking dish to keep everything moist and flavorful.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time to pop the chicken into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.

8. Step 8

   While that’s happening, take a saucepan and combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water with a chicken bouillon cube.

   Bring this mixture to a boil, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
