Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon lemon slices
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear each side for about 2 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Garnish the chicken with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
Serve warm. Enjoy your dairy-free lemon chicken!
