Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic cloves and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 2
Remove from the heat, add red pepper flakes, and set aside.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in a large baking dish (or cast-iron skillet).
Add garlic-infused oil and turn the chicken to coat.
Cover with lemon slices.
Step 4
Set the oven to broil and place a rack in the upper third of the oven.
Cook the chicken for about 15 to 20 minutes (or until the temperature registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.) Cooking time depends on how big the chicken breasts are and how hot your oven is.
Step 5
Once cooked, transfer to a rack and let cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped basil and serve.
