Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

Set an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray.
Combine butter, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; mix until well blended.
Place chicken on the prepared pan and brush with 1/2 of the butter mixture.
Broil in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Turn chicken, brush with remaining butter mixture, and broil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
