Easy Chicken Dinner with Lemon and Herbs — American Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
6. Once out of the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired before serving.
