I decided to peruse the herb section at the grocery store. Maybe the spring like weather brought my attention to the idea of fresh herbs in my meal. There is something lovely about fresh air and fresh herbs. When my eyes hit the Thyme I suddenly had a deep craving for something Thymey. This meal is the fruition of that craving.

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh Thyme chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove pressed or minced
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix the lemon juice, thyme, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until blended. Set aside

I slice each breast into about 4 pieces. So they are thinner. Arrange the chicken in a square baking dish. Pour the lemon mixture over the chicken. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes. I ended up baking mine for 40 because I had to feed the baby while it was cooking.

I served the chicken over zoodles and yoodles. Zucchini and yellow squash noodles I made with my Premium V Spirializer. I sautéed those in a little olive oil until they were tender. I place my chicken on top and spooned some of the reserved sauce in the bottom of the dish over the chicken and veggies.

I served them with a new recipe for sweet potato bites. I will save that recipe post for another time. I have a 5 month old who started his day at 2:30. Despite my attempts to get him to sleep until his normal time, he woke back up at 5:20. We are now hanging out in my living room. Stay tuned for the sweet potatoes. Jackson was over the moon for them. He was still talking about them shortly before bed. He HUGGED me for making them!
