I was in the mood for a simple comfort meal and this really hit the spot.
I am so in love with my herb garden! I love that I can just run out to my backyard and snip a bit of basil for our meal. I would like to add a few more herbs like parsley, rosemary, oregano, and maybe a little chives would be fun in with the herbs too.

Here is what went into this dish:
- 10 chicken tenders
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan and Romano grated cheese blend
Place the everything but the cheese into a Ziploc bag and marinade for at least an hour.
Place into a baking pan and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes until done and slightly browned.
I served the chicken with some fingerling potatoes tossed with butter and chopped basil and some steamed carrots.
This chicken had an excellent flavor and was very moist and tender.

I love the melding of flavors in this dish. I know it will be delicious and can't wait to give it a try. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day.
What a easy and simple dish.Enjoy the home grown basil :)
Lemon and basil really go well together. And it's baked too. I'm all about baked. ;-)
That marinade sounds delicious, a wonderful marriage of fresh ingredients.
Lucky you to have an herb garden!
I really hate baked chicken but I love lemon. Such a contradiction for me. I might have to try it.
That looks like wonderful comfort food! How exciting about your herb garden. I am growing some in my garden too. I love going out and snipping a bit of this and a bit of that.
Hope you have a super weekend!

Hi there, Thanks so much for kind comments and visit!
Hey your's is one site I shall be checking on again .... I'm not good at cooking and I just loved your posts on it. Thank you. :)
Sounds like a simple and easy dish to prepare. I love to grow thyme, mint, and cilantro along with the ones you mentioned. Oh, and dill.
So good.
I'm glad you shared a picture of basil. I wouldn't have known what it looked like.
I love lemon and basil together!happy weekends..
Hubby is going out of town next week so i could def try making this. Can't wait! :)
Lovely idea. I always forget to marinate meat, and cook last moment. Fresh herbs rock, I'm so sad when summer's over and have to go back to dry or frozen ones.
I am SO coming to your house for dinner :-) This looks delicious!
Nice and simple. I am in love with my herb garden too...there is nothing better than stepping outside and snipping off some fresh herbs to calm the soul and create a wonderful fragrant meal.
looks totally awesome!
great job!
Looks great - I left you an award on my blog!
Ohhh I love this kind of meal! Potatoes and chicken is the best. Too bad it's breakfast here cause I am craving some. Maybe for dinna!! :)
Great flavors and comfort here. A great way to eat more veggies.

Fresh Herbs really do make all the difference, don't they!? Sounds delightful :D

I love growing my herbs. I am constantly running outside for a snip of this, a snip of that.
