Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This step ensures a crispier sear.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 5

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken temporarily from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to deglaze it.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over them, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven, letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
