Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Garlic Herb Chicken:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
4. Sear the Chicken: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Transfer to Oven: After searing, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with lemon slices and additional fresh herbs if desired.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to create a delicious Garlic Herb Chicken dish that will tantalize your taste buds and impress your guests.
