Directions:
- In a large plastic bag placed in a large, deep pot (a stockpot is good) combine the water, salt, honey, dried thyme, garlic halves, black pepper and sliced 1/2 lemon.
- Add chicken breasts to brine and tie up bag tightly.
- Allow chicken to brine in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 12 hours, preferably no more than 18 hours.
- When brining time is up, remove chicken from brine (no need to rinse) and place in a baking dish.
- Bake chicken, covered, in a 375 degree F oven for one hour.
- After one hour, remove cover, sprinkle the juice of 1/2 lemon over chicken breasts; drizzle each chicken breast with just over a tablespoon of honey; gently spoon some pan juices over them, and season to taste with black pepper.
- Return to oven for 20 more minutes, or until breasts are nicely browned a little.
