BAKED HERBED CHICKEN BREASTS
I got this recipe from one of my mom's church cookbooks. I always seem to find the best tasting recipe in church cookbooks! This recipe uses boneless chicken with a blend of spices to give it a wonderful taste. I usually make this with potatoes (prepared as fancy or simple as you like) and a vegetable. I also like to combine spices ahead of time. I've tried this by eliminating 1 or 2 spices when I was out and it still turns out wonderful.

Tips:
- Use fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. This will ensure that your chicken is cooked evenly and stays moist.
- Marinate the chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the herbs and spices.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will give your chicken a delicious and complex flavor.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start cooking the chicken. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Bake the chicken breasts for the correct amount of time. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so be careful not to overcook it.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Baked herbed chicken breasts are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This recipe is easy to follow and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion.
