Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 425°F.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and lemon zest.

By using your fingers, gently loosen the skin on the chicken breasts.

COOKING
7
Place the chicken breasts on a wire rack fitted inside a rimmed sheet pan.
8
Cook in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F.

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. This will allow the juices redistribute throughout the chicken breast.
