Seasoned Oven Roasted Chicken

Oven roasted  Chicken with seasonings had been always our family favorite.I have used chicken breast in this recipe.This chicken recipe is a low fat version of roasting and more healthier too.You can use this method to prepare dishes which require cooked chicken or enjoy with a filling salad.The chicken retains all the flavors and makes it very yummy. My husband is a big fan of this oven roasted chicken and try to seduce your taste buds as well by trying out at home !!!

Ingredients
chicken breast 4 (2lb)
parsley  flakes 1tsp
olive oil 1-2 tbsp
garlic powder 1 tsp
salt to taste
pepper to taste
lemon juice 2tsp
dried basil leaves 1tsp

Method

• Wash and clean the chicken breast,cut into thin flat slices so that cooking is easier.Pat dry the slices,marinate the chicken slices with salt,pepper powder and lemon juice,leave aside overnight or minimum half an hour.
• Place the chicken pieces in a tray lined with aluminium foil.Sprinkle the garlic powder,parsley flakes,dried basil leaves and drizzle olive oil on both  sides.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.Place the tray & bake for 20 minutes on one side and 15 minutes on the other side.
• Remove from oven.Cool on wire rack and serve.We enjoyed it as strawberry chicken salad, see link here.

Servings~ 5-6 adults

NOTES
* You can use the chicken breast pieces without slicing too,but we found that slicing helps the marination to penetrate well and bring out the flavors.
* You can use your desired salad or enjoy just like that.We had with strawberry salad !!
