Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°. In small bowl, stir garlic, butter, rosemary, lemon zest, salt and pepper until well combined. Line large rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Pat chicken dry with paper towel; trim excess fat. Starting at bottom edge of each chicken breast, gently loosen skin with fingers; carefully work 1 teaspoon butter mixture evenly between skin and meat of each breast. Evenly spread remaining butter mixture over skin of each breast.

Step 3

Place breasts, skin side up, on prepared baking pan. Roast chicken 30 to 35 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°, rotating pan halfway through roasting. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
