Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and reserve the marinade.

Step 6

Sear the chicken breasts in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 7

Pour the reserved marinade and chicken broth into the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon some of the juices from the pan over the chicken for added flavor before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
