Instructions
Creating One Pan Lemon Chicken is straightforward with these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix together lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade.
3. Marinate: Let the chicken sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the pan.
4. Sear the Chicken: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the chicken, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
