Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 4
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. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
Step 5
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Sear the marinated chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. You don't need to cook them through at this stage.
Step 7
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the seared chicken breasts.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to seal in the juices.
Step 10
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy Jenn's Favorite Chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad!
