INGREDIENTS

4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (Leaving the skin on and bone in produces richer flavor and costs less than boneless, skinless.)

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, rosemary, tarragon or sage (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (yellow part only)

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Adjust rack to the upper-middle position and preheat oven to 450 F.
2. Line a broiler pan bottom with foil and lay slotted broiler pan on top.
3. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and arrange skin-side-up on the broiler-pan top.
4. Mix together the butter, herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
5. Brush the chicken with the melted butter mixture.
6. Roast until the breasts register 160 F on an instant-read thermometer (taking care not to touch the bone), about 30 minutes.
7. Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

This recipe is extremely simple so feel free to add rice, vegetables or potatoes for you're own personal touch.
