Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts to coat them well.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the lemon juice and chicken broth around the chicken in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
