Why We Love This Oven Baked French Chicken Breast Recipe
If you like saucy, rich, and garlic-y foods, then get ready – because you are going to love every single thing about this dish. Classic French Chicken, a recipe from my mother-in-law, is an old-school baked chicken breast recipe. And it’s easy to see why this one has stayed popular! But keep in mind, as is with most retro American recipes, the word French is used liberally. Boneless skinless chicken breasts are coated in a spice dredge. Then they’re covered with tangy lemon herb sauce and oven-roasted to golden perfection in just over 30 minutes. It seems so impressive and luxurious, but this recipe is seriously that easy to make!

Serving Suggestions
Personally, I could eat French chicken right out the pan with a straw for the sauce. But that might not be the most family-friendly way to serve it… Golden, savory, sauce-a-licious lemon garlic chicken breasts are scrumptious with mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower. It’s also lovely over a fluffy bed of couscous or herbed rice. Round the meal out with veggie side dishes like steamed or roasted broccoli, peas, green beans, or asparagus. Or serve with a simple fresh green salad!
