  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the lemon herb mixture over them. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly.

  4. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or rice.

  6. Vegetable Stir-Fry: Ingredients:

  • Assorted vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, snow peas, mushrooms), sliced or chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions:

  2. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender. You can add them in the order of their cooking times, starting with the ones that take longer to cook.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Pour the sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
