Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and place them on a cutting board or baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly sear the chicken breasts for 2 minutes on each side to create a golden crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the chicken for 18–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-roasted chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
