Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare Garlic Herb Chicken:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure they sear beautifully.
3. Make Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
4. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
5. Sear Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Bake Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest Chicken: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for an added touch of flavor and color.
