Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup gluten-free chicken broth
- 4 large, minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour with salt and ground black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth and lemon juice, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits, which add flavor to the sauce.
Stir in the dried oregano.
Return the browned chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over each piece to coat.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the garlic chicken over a bed of rice, quinoa, or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete gluten-free meal.
