Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or the back of a heavy pan. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped leaves from the rosemary sprigs, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Whisk together to form a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the chicken several times to ensure they are fully coated. Cover the dish and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 5
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet, searing for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 6
Once seared, transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through and reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve with your choice of paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
