Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon juice.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the herb mixture. Let them marinate for 15-30 minutes if time allows.
Step 5
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the skillet.
Step 6
Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Step 7
Optional: If using chicken broth, pour it into the skillet at this point to help keep the chicken moist while baking.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the herb seasoned chicken breasts with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
