Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup chicken broth, low sodium
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken chops in the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the marinated chicken chops.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until it forms a smooth slurry.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the oven and add low sodium chicken broth to the chicken chops.
Step 8
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the broth and stir gently. This will thicken the sauce as it continues to cook.
Step 9
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Step 10
Garnish the chicken chops with fresh parsley before serving.
