Italian-Seasoned Roast Chicken

This crispy chicken is made in the oven without any breading at all; the only ingredients you need are the chicken, a drizzle of oil, and a sprinkling of spices. Fresh Italian herbs and seasonings make these roast chicken breasts taste out-of-this-world delicious.

 

Serve with sauteed spinach and mashed potatoes for a hearty meal. The recipe is dead easy and my whole family loves this chicken. It will likely be the easiest chicken dinner you’ll ever make.
