Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Place in a baking dish.
- Stir lemon juice and zest into the leftover butter in the pan, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in half-and-half slowly. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until sauce is smooth. Pour sauce over chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken pieces: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you prefer dark meat, chicken thighs are a great option.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is key to the bright, tangy flavor of this dish. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming dry.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will become dry if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This delicious chicken limone recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is packed with flavor and is healthy too. The combination of lemon, garlic, and herbs creates a bright and tangy sauce that is perfect for chicken. This dish is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
