Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts


• 3 tablespoons butter


• 1/3 cup chicken broth


• 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


• 1 tablespoon honey


• 2 teaspoons minced garlic


• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a baking sheet or large casserole dish.
