Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 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 and set them aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
Step 4
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil on all sides, then sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over them, making sure to coat both sides.
Step 5
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. They do not need to be fully cooked yet.
Step 6
Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the skillet with the chicken. This will create a flavorful sauce to keep the chicken moist while baking.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Step 9
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
