Preheat Oven:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare Chicken:

Sprinkle the boneless chicken breast slices with basil (or oregano) and rub them with crushed garlic.

Melt Butter:

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish or using a stovetop method.

Coat Chicken:

Pour the melted butter into a casserole dish.

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the dish, turning them to coat both sides with the butter.

Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake:

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven, uncovered, for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown.

Turn the chicken over and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

Finish Cooking:

Reduce the oven heat to 300°F (150°C) and continue cooking the chicken until tender, about 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

Add Lemon:

Remove the chicken from the oven and squeeze the juice of the lemons over the chicken.

Serve:

Serve the zesty lemon garlic chicken hot, over a bed of rice or with your favorite side dishes.
