Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup gluten-free chicken broth
• 4 large, minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour with salt and ground black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.

Step 5

Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth and lemon juice, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits, which add flavor to the sauce.

Step 6

Stir in the dried oregano.

Step 7

Return the browned chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over each piece to coat.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve the garlic chicken over a bed of rice, quinoa, or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete gluten-free meal.
