Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip a couple of tbsp olive oil into a small roasting tin. Add the lemon slices and then sit the chicken on top. Rub the top of each chicken breast with a little olive oil and then season well. Squeeze over the juice from the remaining lemon half and put the thyme sprigs between the chicken breasts.

  • step 2

    Roast for 20-25 mins until the chicken is cooked through – check by poking a knife into the centre of each breast to make sure the juices run clear. Rest for 5 mins before serving.

I just made this for my 16 year old daughter and after the first mouthful she turned to me and said "OMG this is the best chicken I've ever tasted"! She doesn't normally offer me compliments so that's pretty good! The only thing I did different was to prick the chicken with a fork before rubbing oil…

Lovely, quick and healthy. I did make gravy with it though as if had the potential to be dry otherwise. Will definitely make this again!

Really disappointed with this. The chicken turned out tough despite resting it and there wasn’t enough sauce to go with it.

Just finished eating this. Not very lemony or thymy but was a change. Probably won't do it again.

Lovely and very quick. Gorgeous lemony flavour. Will definitely make again.
