Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in chicken chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken chops dry with paper towels to ensure even browning.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the chicken chops with olive oil, then generously coat them with the seasoning mixture on both sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter until foamy, then sear the chicken chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits at the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining tablespoon of butter until combined.
Return the seared chicken chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
