FRENCH HERB ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS

A quick, low-fat, and aromatic variation on traditional roasted chicken breasts. The marinade ensures they stay moist and the flavour combinations are lovely. I serve this with a simple side of broccoli and water-chestnuts, or root vegetables en batonnet, but you could obviously serve it with whatever you want!
