Description
This baked chicken is super summery, flavorful, and healthy. It only takes about 10 minutes to throw together. Bake time will really depend on just how big your chicken breasts are, so make sure to allow for that when baking. For those who like a little more of a “spicy” kick, a pinch or two of red pepper flakes could be added to the sauce.
