Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor) in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.

Step 6

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the chicken to keep it moist during baking.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven, tent with aluminum foil, and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to seal in the juices.

Step 9

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
