Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to form a herb marinade.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 4

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Turn the chicken over and sear for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the chicken broth to the skillet (pour it around the chicken, not directly over it, to preserve the crispy skin).

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
