Recipe Review: Roasted chicken breasts with wild herbs

This is a simple and delicious way to enjoy chicken breasts. Use about 1 small teaspoon of each herb if using dried herbs.

Ingredients:

* 4 chicken breasts, with skin

* 3 tablespoons butter

* 2 teaspoons fresh chopped rosemary (1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

* 2 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme (1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme)

* 2 teaspoons snipped chives, optional (1 teaspoon dried or freeze dried chives)

* A dash of salt

* A dash of pepper

* (Optional) A dash of chilli powder for an extra kick!

Preparation:

Heat oven to approximately 200°C. Line a baking pan with foil and lightly grease. Trim the excess fat but leave the skin on. Arrange the chicken pieces with the skin side up in the baking pan. Combine the butter with herbs, salt, and pepper until well blended.

Put about 2 teaspoons of the mixture under the skin of each chicken breast. Use remaining mixture to baste the chicken while roasting. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through, brushing with the remaining butter and herb mixture once or twice.
