- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each piece.

Notes
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to redistribute the juices. For an extra crispy finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
