Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup green beans
- 2 cups baby spinach
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade: in a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, and thyme. Add in sea salt and black pepper, then mix well.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each breast is well-coated by turning them in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4
In a large oven-proof skillet, over medium-high heat, sear the chicken breasts for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. This step is to sear and develop flavor, not to cook through.
Step 5
Add the cherry tomatoes, whole green beans, and any extra marinade into the skillet with the chicken breasts. Arrange them evenly around the chicken.
Step 6
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 7
Remove the skillet from the oven, and add in the fresh baby spinach. Stir into the pan juices and vegetables until just wilted.
Step 8
Serve the Whole30 Petti di Pollo hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and wholesome meal!
