Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to form a herb marinade.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Turn the chicken over and sear for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the chicken broth to the skillet (pour it around the chicken, not directly over it, to preserve the crispy skin).
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
