Steps

1. 1

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic.

3. 3

   Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and coat them thoroughly with the garlic butter mixture.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), approximately 20-25 minutes depending on thickness.

5. 5

   Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it remains juicy.
