Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a clean plate and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine the parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pour the olive oil and lemon juice over the chicken breasts, rubbing it evenly on all sides.
Sprinkle the herb mixture over the chicken, pressing gently so the herbs adhere to the surface.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 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 to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
