How about an amazing 5 ingredient roast chicken breast recipe. Simple, quick and so delicious.
Making a healthy, sit down family dinner does not have to be reserved for Sunday nights anymore. This chicken dinner which can be on the table in an hour works for any weeknight meal. It is sure to be a favourite.
So let’s start with the chicken, Or is it the egg?? Well that is a different discussion all together. Back to the chicken…
Although, if you are looking for an amazing Sunday Night Dinner, look no further than our Sunday Dinner with the Fam post.
About 15 years ago, just around the time that I was making a huge health change in the way our family ate, I happened to come upon a local chicken farmer who raised his chickens in a natural, healthy way. I decided to try it, and our family was hooked.
Country Lane Farms
This family owned and operated farm just east of Calgary raises their chickens without the use of antibiotics, hormones or animal by products. They do not use chemicals in the bird’s environment and use a feed with high quality vitamins and organic minerals for optimal growth and health.
The great thing about Country Lane Farms is that they sell direct from their farm to you. Farm to Table with accessible pick up locations throughout the city and the NEW option of home delivery (for an added $10).
Now I know what you are thinking, this all comes with an extra cost. Yes, naturally raised chicken or any organic food product, is always typically slightly higher then the mainstream products. But the quality is incomparable. And the more we support our local growers and farmers, the more affordable it will become and better for the environment.
Affordable and Accessible. And they carry naturally raised and locally sourced beef, fully certified organically farmed salmon, local honey and free range turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Have you seen their chicken breasts?? Typically one breast will feed my family of 4. Yep, that is correct.

**Recipe adapted from one of our favourites, Ina Garten**
Using a bone in, skin on chicken breast (a cut you typically do not see at the grocery store) will definitely add to the flavour and moist-ness of this 5 ingredient roast chicken breast recipe.
Is moist-ness even a word?
You could prep this the night before and refrigerate, then have it ready to pop in the oven when you get home from work. Or even in between a drop off and pick up of the kids. Pair this with spaghetti squash, and a side salad and you will have a healthy meal for any day of the week.
5 Ingredient Roast Chicken Breasts
Ingredients:
2-4 bone in, skin on, chicken breasts
4 large cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary (1 tbsp dried will work as well)
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place chicken breast on a baking dish or sheet pan and rub with olive oil. Sprinkle with the rosemary/garlic and salt and pepper. Make sure to get some of the rub under the skin.
Roast for approx. 40 mins or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Remove from oven and slice for serving.
This is one chicken dinner that is sure to please the whole family but especially mom knowing that you are serving them the healthiest option you can. 🙂
