How I make it

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

  2. In a skillet over medium-low heat, warm the oil with the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, without letting the garlic burn.

  3. Take off the heat and add the wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir.

  4. Pour into a 9x13-inch (23x31 cm) glass baking dish.

  5. Set the chicken breasts in the dish, brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  6. Cut the lemon into 8 wedges and tuck them between the chicken breasts.

  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes. If the chicken isn't golden enough, put it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.

  8. Take out of the oven, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.

  9. Serve over rice with the sauce spooned over the chicken.
