How to Make Chicken Breasts With Herb Butter

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Set aside 2 teaspoons of the herb butter mixture.
Carefully loosen the skin of each chicken breast, being careful not to tear it completely. Leave the skin attached.
Spread the remaining herb butter evenly under the skin of each chicken breast. Smooth the skin back over the butter. Rub the reserved 2 teaspoons of herb butter over the top of each chicken breast.
Place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
